Akpabio, Yilwatda Urge Nigerians to Hold Governors Accountable

Senate President Godswill Akpabio and APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda have urged Nigerians to monitor how governors and local government chairmen utilise increased federal allocations.

Speaking at separate events in Abuja, both leaders said higher revenue inflows must translate into development and job creation. Yilwatda noted that governors now receive up to four times previous allocations and should deliver more for their people.

Akpabio also called on state assemblies to ensure transparency, stressing that increased revenues should improve citizens’ welfare.
