The report, published by the Abia State Government, provides undeniable evidence that exposes the ignorance of certain government aides who struggle to grasp even the most basic principles of public finance. The confusion stems from a fundamental lack of understanding between FAAC receipts and total revenue.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo sociocultural organization, feels it is essential to address, with unwavering clarity, the troubling actions undertaken by the Lagos State Government under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
