Kebbi’s Gov Idris calls for change in sharing of federal allocations

The Governor of Kebbi, Nasir Idris, has called for a change in how the nation's revenue is shared. The governor opined that states should receive a greater share than the federal government. Idris said that a reassessment of the distribution formula of federal allocations would address the democratic aspirations of the people. He said that this should be carefully examined, especially in the area of having the police force under the administration of state governments nationwide.

We must look at the formula in order to meet our campaign promises to our citizens,' he said. “When you look at it, the states and local governments are the closest to the people and most of the challenges faced directly by citizens are handled by the states and local governments. “It is in the state that you find the farmers, the artisans, and the poorest of the poor and it is our responsibility as governors to make life meaningful and worth living for them.
