An Economic Policy Analyst Odilim Enwegbara has called for legislation that would stop State Governments from using Federal Government allocations for State up keep.

Enwegbara who spoke on an African Independent Television, AIT, programme “Global Business news” said the “vertical system” in which State Governments are operating will not augur well for the nation.

Kaduna State, in stark contrast generates an IGR of N0.9 billion monthly representing N11 billion yearly with the least federal government allocation of N8 billion monthly which is the least among the state aforementioned above because it is not an oil producing state has paid the salary of its workers without borrowing or asking Government for bail out.

Some economic analysts have argued that the reason why some State Governors are unable to pay salaries was as a result of miss-appropriation and embezzlement of public funds.

It was alleged that most of them used their allocation when it was rosy to buy houses and several other properties in Dubai and other nations of the world.

I hope el-rufai won't "aregbesola" kaduna state

Not when some governors are soo greedy to the bone marrow....
