Tougher times loom for states and local governments in the country as the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) yesterday announced N388.339 billion as the sum due to the three tiers of government for April 2015.

The said sum is a far cry from the the N435.061 billion shared among the three tiers of government the previous month, raising fears that the decrepit financial situations in states and local governments may worsen. Already, some states are unable to pay workers’ salaries.
