Delta State governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, says there is an urgent need to review the existing revenue allocation formula in favour of states and councils in the country.
Okowa stated this when the National Executive Council (NEC) of Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) led by the president, Mr. Kolade Alabi, visited him in Asaba on Thursday.
Okowa explained that the review would stabilise the financial status of states and meet the yearnings of the people.
According to the governor, the council administration is growing and needs financial stability to impact on people’s lives.
With the latest clamour, Okowa has joined his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike, who had earlier sought the avenue for more revenue to accrue to the states.
