Akwa Ibom Has Interest In FG’s N90bn Loan Facility To States by papayeye: 9:17pm On Jun 19, 2016
Considering the dwindling revenue and huge financial burden being faced by the state, Akwa Ibom State Government at the weekend confirmed its interest to key in to the second round of bailout facility or fund provided by the Federal Government.

The State Commissioner for Finance, Mr Akan Okon, dropped the hint in his office at a briefing jointly held by the State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr Victor Antai, on the state economy.

He said the state has all the requirements to take the loan.

The Commissioner stressed that the facility was very timely, hence the state government’s readiness to avail itself of the window being offered by the new loan to meet the needs of the state.

He disclosed that the state received N5. 3 billion as allocation from the federation account in the month of May, while its wage bill stood at N4.8 billion, making it difficult for the state to meet its financial obligations.

“I want to state that in the month of May, we received N5.3 billion and the wage bill was N4.8 billion. With this you can see that government is in a very tight situation.

“With the dwindling finances experienced in the state, the state government has to key into the window of the new loan facility being offered by the Federal Government,” the Finance Commissioner said.

Imagine a state like Akwa Ibom grappling with insolvency. Wonders shall never end.

During the time of plenty, instead of those oafs building structures that would cushion the effects of rainy days such as we are experiencing now, they rather expended their resources on hosting international superstars like Beyonce, and sponsor celebrity weddings!!

People blinded by hatred for anything not of theirs cheered them on and asked that the charade be sustained- now we have a full blown crisis in our hands.

Akwa Ibom getting the allocation equivalent of the enture Southeast combined still owing workers for several months and seeking bail out. Not justifiable.

Any governor applying for a bailout should go on an excursion trip to Anambra and Lagos states to see what real governance is all about.

The days of waiting to share monthly allocations are over. Every state should look inwards and get down to generating wealth for the state and its people.

My dear friend,you are so right.Most of these governor are totally useless.They don't have any idea of how to generate funds independent of federal allocation. These governor are wasteful even in the present economic situation. They fly private jets but can pay salaries.The whole problem is because of the type of fiscal policy Nigeria operates.Every state is supposed to generate its own resources so there can be competition for development. Every state should develop at its own pace so that those states who have no intention to progress will be left behind.The current revenue allocation policy will never take Nigeria anywhere.

i think ; all these Oil rich Niger-delta states are not broke;

but they are declaring bankruptcy because the feel that the Northern states & some other states are jst sitting down crying bankruptcy and the govt. will give them free bail-out fund; which the states will never pay back whereby making those Northern states politicians richer.

so they Oil rich Niger-delta states politicians decided to do same

Jamboree continues

You can't really blame them, Akpabio promoted the lifestyle of politicians to a certain unsustainable level that they are still finding it difficult to adjust to reality. Some are still even saying that if Akpabio was around they will still be having more money to spend quite uninformed that the economic crunch is nationwide.

Out of the N4.8bn wage bills they keep shouting about, 70% of the amount is paid to political office holders including jumbo allowances and unnecessary apparatus of office.
