@TundeFashola accuses FG of lying about nation’s economy | Here is what he said

by Godwin Akanfe

Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola has accused the Federal Government of not being sincere with the citizens on the state of the nation’s economy.

Fashola claims that the postponement of the monthly Federal Allocation Accounts Committee, (FAAC) which was scheduled to hold in Enugu State, on Wednesday, 15 October, was an indication that all was not well with the federation account.

He made the comments while speaking at the commemoration of the 2014 World Food Day/Agric Value Chain Day, in Agege,on Thursday, 16 October.

Fashola said, “As I was coming to this event, I received a message that the monthly Federal Allocation Accounts Committee meeting where states know how much the country earn in the last 30 days and what percentage would be shared between the three tiers of government-Federal, State and Local governments-from the federation accounts has been postponed.”

“The meeting which was scheduled to hold in Enugu State today (yesterday) was postponed because there was not enough fund in the federation account. That is the situation of the country’s economy today,” he added.

The Governor also stated that reality has made it pertinent for state governments to look inward and put in place effective tax system for the continuous discharge of their duties to the citizens.
