Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has
raised the alarm over the dwindling and
delayed federal allocation to states by the
Federal Government, saying that the state
might not be able to pay the October
salary to workers and carry out other
financial obligations, unless the situation
is promptly addressed.
He raised the alarm while speaking with
newsmen shortly after declaring open, the
2014 National Council on Development
Planning meetings, held at the
International Conference Centre, University
of Ibadan on Friday.
He said that the allocation to the state
had been reduced by almost 40 per cent,
adding that even the allocations were not
being released as at when due, owing to
what the Federal Government described
as a fall in the price of crude oil.
“Truth be told, the financial position of
Oyo State as of now is not too good. But
this is not peculiar to Oyo State as other
states in the federation are also
experiencing serious cash crunch.
“You will recall that at the APC forum
held in Kwara State recently, we
(governors) raised an alarm over the
dwindling federal allocation to states.
Even some PDP governors have also cried
out over their inability to meet up with
their financial obligations,” he said. tribune.com.ng/news/news-headlines/item/20251-ajimobi-raises-the-alarm-over-dwindling-allocation-to-states
