Exclusive: Confusion trails July, August FAAC allocations, Commissioners depart Abuja empty handed

A major controversy may be brewing in Nigeria following the conflicting figures reported to have been shared by the Federation Account Allocation Committee, FAAC as July and August 2017 allocations, Fresh Angle International checks reveal.

While the National Bureau of Statistics, NBA was quoted to have released figures that FAAC shared N 467.85 billion among the three tiers of government as August allocation disbursed Monday September 25 (a figure that is N 184.38 billion less than N 652.23 billion purportedly disbursed in August as July allocation) several media reports claimed that N 467.852 billion was shared for July allocation.

The import of the several figures and reports monitored by your Soar-Away International Tabloid indicate that two seprate figures: N 652.23 billion and N 467.852 billion was reportedly shared by FAAC as July allocation, while the Delta State Government purportedly deducted the Local Government Council share of the allocation for the payment of primary school staff even though some of the primary school teachers spoken to as at the time of this report disclosed that they have not been paid.
