Rivers state stakeholder has boasted that the state can take care of their operating costs without relying on revenue from the Federation Account Allocation Committee.

Recall that BudgIT, a civic tech organisation, has said in its 2024 State of States Report that Lagos and Rivers states can take care of their revenue from their IGR.

That is the spirit.

States should learn to maximize their IGR and stop relying on FAAC.

I support this. States should control their VAT and resources while posting a maximum of 20% tax to the FG who should be taking care of themselves

True

They should stop relying on FAAC then and keep the money for other states.

Simple

With their oil belonging to them too?

The federal government should stop relying on the resources of the states, very soon that is what will happen. If this is the case this frivolous suit wouldn't come up in the first place because there won't be anything to share. Every state should control their resources and pay tax to the center.

U b mumu I swear.
Instead of this happening we go burst all the export lines out of the country make we see where lazy man like u want to share free money from Nigeria Delta.

Rivers state can actually operate without FAAC. Its a blessing to have such states in the country.

Then let them stop collecting the federal allocation

Lagos and Rivers are blessed states and we are grateful to God for His mercies upon us.
May God bless Nigeria for ever!

Exactly imagine Lagos using IMO gas for free and asking us to leave Lagos

Let everyone control their resources and pay tax to the federal government

Let everyone also be allowed to build and operate sea ports how they see fit as long as certain conditions are meet

I hope they've paid the seized FAAC into Wikes account? 😂

Circus Monkeys! 😂

Fubara is an accountant and can manage the IGR for capital and recurrent expenditure till 2027. Let us see wikes next move.

But as for recognizing and representing the budget to the 27 lawmakers who have lost their seats, forget it. 😂

So what is the problem?

FG just stating the obvious.

Correct
