Aminu Masari of Katsina State on Wednesday said 24 out of the 34 local government councils in the state are completely broke.
Masari told newsmen in Katsina that the 24 local government councils have no money to pay salaries and execute projects.
He added that even the 10 solvent local councils usually have no money left for projects after paying the salaries of their workers.
“Our local government councils are faced with scarcity of funds. As I am talking to you, some local government councils have no fund to even buy stationeries to work with in the offices.''
The governor revealed that the state government now spend between N600 million and N900 million monthly to bail out the councils, to pay salaries.
Masari said that the state government is using its savings to support the local councils, adding that the burden was becoming unbearable.
The governor explained that the government has no plans to hold local council elections in the state for now.
He said that the precarious financial problem facing the local government councils, would not be able to support an election.
"Based on estimation, about N10 million is needed monthly to pay salaries and allowances of elected chairmen, councillors, supervisory councillors and other officials of the councils," Masari said.
The governor stressed that measures had been adopted to strengthen the capacity of all the 34 local government areas to explore new revenue options to save the system from total collapse.

Make una sorry.

Ok.

And if u ask him well well u will see the governor of an arid region like katsina open his mouth and tell u about reduction in the price of crude. If it is not greed and parasitism along with ignorance and myopia, tell me why such a state will be dependent on proceeds from crude rather than developing indigenous resources that can keep the state afloat?

U can imagine Buhari wanting to die on top of oil when he knows nothing about it and has made himself minister of petroleum. That is how they forever place square pegs in round holes because they will never exploit their natural gifts and areas of expertise, it is to come and colonise Niger Delta that they know. Imagine a retired Army General, knowing the poor security situation making himself minister of petroleum instead of Defense or Interior or even Agriculture as a fulani cattle herder that he is. What nonsense!

They claim massive land mass but making it fruitful and profitable for themselves is a big problem, na to dey collect position for where no concern dem na him dem sabi.

Keep waiting for katsina's oil that is.in Bayelsa. You are paying the price for being an Oil parasite!

Katsina Local Govt Councils. Just forget. These are centers of corruptn. I kn cos just last yr I relocated frm thr. Can't explain it hr cos it is a very long story.

Masari can resign if he has run out of ideas.

We are doomed in this country, a state is bankrupt and the shameless governor have the gut to say it out. Can't these governors generate IGR to sustain them.

Holes in promises is the slogan of this government. We should know by now.
