The Chairman of the Finance commissioners forum, Timothy Odah, has called for the scrapping of the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment programme, SURE-P, describing it as an avenue for looters.
Timothy while speaking with news men in abuja, said the subsidy scheme has denied state governments funds in running the affairs of the states, while many states are unable to pay workers salaries.
It would be recalled that
the Federation Account Allocation Committee last week shared N388 billion as
revenue for the month of April, N200 billion lower than the previous month’s
allocation. It is the lowest revenue shared among the three tiers of government
in 10 months.
