Unproductive landmass, just imagine some sets of human reasoning like cow, the more reason states should be allowed to manage their resources. One section of the country parasiting on the other.

fergie001:
So.....does that landmass not produce anything?

It can be an advantage if it is put into good use...

Whobedatte:
Foolish state with no real development, only useless lands left to fallow .
How can a state have such enormous land mass with no tangible development ?
A state that produced two ex-head of states?
What are they trying to achieve?
I travelled from mokwa to dikko junction on my way to kano, imagine I spent 7hours in Niger state alone
Isn't that ridiculous ?
At kotangora, i saw mud houses everywhere in a neighbourhood , the only building made of block is a mosque .
Mosques everywhere , schools, houses all made of mud and nothing to write home about .
Niger state is just land mass with plenty mosques................ nothing more !!!

Judolisco:
Thank God it's coming from Niger state were power is being generated if not I would have called the state big for nothing ...so d state is not totally useless, Niger state should invest more in agriculture

sulaak:


Northern Nigerians governors are getting useless everyday, instead of using their large landmass to develop tourism and agriculture production they will rather depend on allocation and sharing oil money.

Northern Nigeria is a liability to the South.

flyingpig:
If Landmass is used as factor for allocating revenue then SE go poor like Somalia o


Mr Governor, how is that even logical? What does such large mass of land produce for the country? Is there any mineral that is generated and sold for foreign exchange? There is totally no PRODUCTIVITY

These greedy people are looking for dubious ways to double their allocation against the South. In fact, SE should seriously consider pressing for "number of human resources" as a factor for distributing state allocations, because such factor will place you lot on the sloppy end of the seesaw.

Nonsense and uneducated North.

NIGER STATE GOVERNMENT URGES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER LANDMASS IN REVENUE SHARING

The Niger State Government is asking the federal government that landmass should be a consideration in the revenue sharing formula for the country.

Abubakar noted that the landmass of the state is the largest in the country with its topography having environmental challenges such as annual flooding, noting that the ecological fund for the State is not sufficient.

Wetin Musa nor go see for this MainGate?
You see why we sometimes think these Northerners drink Cow-Urine for the first Fifteen years of thei life?
EMPTY, UNPRODUCTIVE LAND INFESTED BY TERRORISTS IS NOW WHAT THEY WANT TO USE IN SHARING REVENUE DERIVED FROM CRUDE OIL OF THE NIGER DELTA LANDS?

W e dont belong in the same country with these "things" (I dont want to offend humans...)
Why dont they advocate that we use number of Cows

GamalNasser:
Just imagine the idiocy

SpecialAdviser:
Not surprising. I was told of a particular census where the northerners were counting goats.

Up till now the revenue sharing formula is fraudulent. I visited some local governments in Kano state where their inhabitants are just very few and shook my head. Every month most of them will queue up for Kwankwasiya salary they get free. All from monthly allocation. The favour they got from military dictatorship.

The north have a serious lazy mentality.

And this Evil Buhari has even made things worse!
Imagine the Cow now wants to build a National Stadium in DAURA!..of all places!
He borrows money on behalf of the whole Country and then goes to waste it in the North.
These Chinese better realise that if we break-up, it is only money spent in the South, that will be repaid back by the South.
North has to repay what they benefit. Enough of Monkey work, baboon Chop.

NIGER STATE GOVERNMENT URGES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER LANDMASS IN REVENUE SHARING

The Niger State Government is asking the federal government that landmass should be a consideration in the revenue sharing formula for the country.

The State Commissioner for Finance, Zakari Abubakar, disclosed this in an interview shortly after the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) led by its Federal Commissioner, Barrister Patrick Mgbebu Nworu, met with Governor Abubakar Sani Bello in a closed door meeting at the Government House, Minna.

Abubakar noted that the landmass of the state is the largest in the country with its topography having environmental challenges such as annual flooding, noting that the ecological fund for the State is not sufficient.

The Commissioner appealed that a certain percentage should be added to states that are challenged by environmental hazards.

He said the state is challenged by its size as opposed to the revenue that accrued to it, adding that if the landmass is considered, it will assist the state government to access and tackle the environmental challenges.

“In the consideration of the indices of revenue, the issue of landmass should be given a lot of weight", he said.

The Commissioner also pointed out that the number of Federal Roads criss-crossing the state is another issue that should be factored in the revenue sharing formula by the Federal Government.

The RMAFC Federal Commissioner, Barrister Nworu, said the commission members were in the state for advocacy and sensitization on revenue data and its management.

He said their mission in the state is also to get the stakeholders to know the value and the need to submit transparent as well as verifiable revenue data.

According to him, it is the commission’s mandate to formulate ways to allocate revenue from the federation account to the states and local governments.

Kainji Hydro Power station generate just about 760mw of electricity which is meagre, whereas Delta State alone generate over 1000mw electricity from about four gas fired thermal power stations.
