FG Recalls Paris Club Refund For 5 States by kingsman66(m): 12:10pm On Sep 25, 2018 |
lagos—The Federal Government, yesterday,
ordered recall of the second tranche of the
London and Paris Club Refunds disbursed to five
states, amounting to about $2.7 billion (N972
billion.)
No reason for the recall was given. The states
involved are Delta, Imo, Benue, Rivers and Osun.
But the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) has
called for an emergency meeting to challenge the
action which some of them believe was
politically motivated.
Vanguard also gathered that the recall is done
directly from the states’ accounts with the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
However, many of the states confirmed that the
money had already been spent mostly on
payment of workers’ salary arrears.
Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom said he
directed the commencement of payment of
salary arrears, pensions and gratuity from the
N14.9 billion Paris Club refund received by the
state to pave way for speedy payment of the
funds to workers and retirees.
Osun State Commissioner for Information, Adelani
Baderinwa, claimed the government was yet to
be informed and cannot speak on the refund
because the Paris Club Refund has been spent on
workers’ salary.
NGF emergency meeting
Meanwhile, the Chairman, Nigerian Governors
Forum, NGF, Gov. Abdul’Aziz Yari Abubakar, has
called an emergency meeting of the Forum for
today, Tuesday 25th Sept, 2018 at the NGF
Secretariat in Abuja by 3:00 pm. The meeting
has just one agenda, CBN’s recall of the London
& Paris Club Refunds to States.
Yari, in the invite to the other governors,
requested them to come along with at least three
(3) months evidence of salary payment as well
as evidence of any challenge related to the
payment of salaries in their states.
Recall that the Federal Government said that the
states should clear backlog of salaries and other
related staff arrears before they would be able to
access the remaining $2.7 billion Paris Club
Refund. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/fg-recalls-paris-club-refund-for-5-states/ |

The states involved are Delta, Imo, Benue, Rivers and Osun Apart from Imo state, most of the states are pdp states. They withdrew Osun Paris club refund because they didn't win Osun. 2 Likes |

Whether they like it or not, the states must get their share of the refund. The money belongs to them not that FG is doing them any favours. 1 Like |
