The surprise thirty-two per cent jump in Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) disbursements to the three tiers of government in June was a result of a more transparent reporting of the federation’s gross revenues BusinessDay can report. The unexplained rise at a time of a continued fall in international crude oil prices left many analysts wondering but investigation by BusinessDay has showed that the transparent reporting method imposed by the two-month old Buhari administration meant that revenues that were hitherto unaccounted for, had to be brought into the collective pool for sharing. The total disbursable fund for June amounted to N539bn or $2.71bn, up by 32 per cent from the level for May. The statutory allocation, the largest element of the payment, brought an increase of N162b or the equivalent of $810m on May revenues. A state like Edo, for instance saw its June allocation rise significantly, by more than N500m and governor Adams Oshiomhole who confirmed the development was unequivocal that the additional funds would not have come in if government agencies were left to account for their revenues in their old ways. “I can tell you that my state got much more than it would normally get and this additional funds came because they (federal agencies) could no longer hide or cook their books”, the governor told BusinessDay in Ndola, Zambia, on the sideline of the commissioning of the 1.5MT cement plant build by Dangote Cement. The governor, who is one of those selected by the National Economic council to beam a searchlight on the irregularities in flows into FAAC, added, “we are already seeing the benefit of the attitude of the Buhari administration to our collective resources and this is welcome, especially because we have just started and their scope for getting better. We all can now see that the days of impunity are gone.” Governor Oshiomhole’s explanation has helped to shed light on the jump in the federal allocation disbursement. In its August 5 daily note, FBN Capital had said, “we struggle to explain the marked increase in the allocation which is predominantly derived from the oil industry.” On Friday, FBN Capital welcomed the recovery in foreign reserves, which rose $2.5bn in July to $31.5bn on a 30-day moving average basis. FBN Capital said the increase in reserve couldn’t be explained by just the savings from the ban on 41 items, which hitherto accounted for about $900m in FX utilisation per month, on the basis of figures for Q1. Analysts at FBN Capital said, “we have to look elsewhere for additional explanations for the pick up in reserves in July.” http://businessdayonline.com/2015/08/cash-going-to-states-from-faac-rising-on-fear-of-buhari 1 Like |

This is a welcome news. My fears are are that though Buhari, can control the looting and spending from the Federal Angel. Once, monies trickle down to the States, then it is game time for the corrupt Governors. Hopefully, States Assemblies should in someway control the stealing by their Governors. Good Job President Buhari. Nigerian's are happy with you. 7 Likes |

Ventura1: Yet some shameless fools whose seeds will suddenly cough to death will claim they are yet to see change. This is good news for the entire country, apc, pdp inclusive. Even with no minister yet, the General continues to prove himself. Shame on u Ngozi (world Bank fraud), shame on u Jonah-daft. Surely, i can trust the General with the resources of this country. 10 Likes |

HungerBAD: Once we have a rotten head, what do u expect from the rest of the body. The core reason why states rubbish allocations given them before now is because they see the head as a piece of shit and follow suit. Woe betide any state that chose to mismanage resources. Once the almighty fg is prudent, they can now have the guts to go after corrupt states mismanaging resources starting from Rivers State. I expect Buhari to be proactive and task his security agents to beam their lights on states. The era of impunity simply must end. 3 Likes |

HungerBAD:We are not happy, we are extremely excited. I don't see why anyone should be against this man for nothing more than sheer hatred and ethnoreligious bigotry. He is surely on a mission to salvage this nation from the clutches of death occasioned by successive years of maladministration by PDP. May God in his infinite mercy bless and protect him for us. 5 Likes |

To those recording the achievement of the General, Increase in allocations given to states despite fall in oil price is a big plus. Surely, the General is plugging holes. Jonah-daft never achieved this. 3 Likes |

HungerBAD:My fears exactly as well, we need EFCC established in all the 36 states to pursue crime down into the local government areas, and I think LG accounts should be separate too, states should not be controlling LG accounts the way it is constitutionally so they can directly do business and negotiate for investors 1 Like |

Increasing revenue in the face of falling oil prices is almost against the natural order of things, certainly in Nigeria where the corrupt will exploit every excuse. Tbh it is in the miraculous. Some of us actually said it will take a miracle for GMB to succeed. It is happening! 1 Like |

Kudos to Nigerians for making the right choice and booting out Jonah-daft the curse. When he was in charge, it was one day, one scandal. Why won't income go down? 5 Likes |

Barcaninja: 1. Why BusinessDay's article on increase in state allocation despite falling crude prices are a manifestation of the old PDPs good governance initiative. 2. Why Buhari should be ashamed of increasing allocations to corrupt state governments. 3. Why making more money cannot be good for an emerging economy in the 21st century. 4. Why Jonathan refused to save and should be given kudos for creating briefcase billionaires Stay tuned to Nairaland for more updates from the chief wailer Barcaninja 4 Likes |
