President Buhari had a meeting with state governors this morning to
discuss on the financial crisis most states are currently facing. At the
end of the meeting President Buhari and the Governors resolved to
forego the proposed financial bailout plan.
The governors suggested that the Federal government refund state
governors all the money owed them for Federal Government projects
carried out in their states. The governors also asked that the tax paid
by the Nigeria Natural Liquefied Gas Company be paid into the Federation
Account and be shared.
