The Nigeria Governors Forum have rejected the decision of the federal government to withdraw local government funds to build health centres across the 774 local government areas.

They also demanded a halt to disbursements of already deducted funds to benefiting contractors while questioning the legality and legitimacy of the federal government’s decision on the issue.

According to the document, the emergency meeting was convened to deliberate on two key issues namely: ALGON Vs FAAC: deduction of LGC statutory allocation for the construction of primary healthcare centers in each of the 774 LGAs; and the NLC & TUC call for a national strike action over the recent increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit and increase in Electricity Tariff.

The governors also resolved to: “Call on the Minister for Finance and the Accountant General of the Federation not to disburse to receiving entities monies already deducted for the construction of primary healthcare centers in each of the 774 LGAs, and that further deductions should be halted forthwith.
