Governors Approve Withdrawal Of $1 Billion From ECA To Fight Boko Haram by kirajustice(op): 3:15pm On Dec 14, 2017
@POLITICSNGR

Information reaching the PoliticsNGR newsdesk on Thursday afternoon reveals that the 36 state governors in Nigeria have agreed to the withdrawal of $1 billion from the country's Excess Crude Account(ECA) to be used in funding the fight against Boko Haram.

This development was made public by the Governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki while addressing state house correspondents in Abuja after a meeting of the National Economic Council in the Presidential Villa.

The meeting was headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo since President Buhari is currently out of the country for a meeting in France.

Mr. Obaseki disclosed that the approval was announced during the 83rd NEC meeting by the chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, and Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari.

The Nigerian Excess Crude Account had a balance of $2.317 billion as at December 13, 2017.

Why is everyone shouting APC when the 36 governors agreed. It's crazy they are taking half the cash to fight they say they won. Anyway let's hope they Finnish this war so the focus can be on NE redevelopment.

SSBN make a topic on what they should buy to finish this war.

Politicians are not interested in developing Nigeria. The youth should be ready, otherwise poverty will kill all of you. Start buying guns to defend yourself from assault by SARS, police and the military. Let set the country ablaze once and for all
