The 36 states that make up the Federation have received N9 billion from President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
According to President Bayo Onanuga’s Special Advisor, N7 billion is set aside for infrastructure, with the remaining amount going towards relief for fuel subsidies.
The Federation Account Allocation Committee, or FAAC, has boosted revenue allocation, according to a post made by Onanuga on X.

He said, “The 36 Nigerian states have enjoyed unprecedented support from the Bola Tinubu presidency, having recently been given N7 billion each for infrastructure support, in addition to the N2 billion earlier given as fuel subsidy palliative.
“The revenue allocations to all the tiers of government by the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) have also been on the increase since June.
“State governors thus have no reason not to do a lot for their people, instead of the obsession with the center. In spending money on roads and other infrastructure, many jobs will be created and people will have money to spend.
“Let the states therefore get cracking to give succour to our people. Let the mass media also monitor the states to ensure that the funds are wisely spent.”
