Wife of Ekiti State Governor, Mrs. Feyisetan Fayose has urged the federal government to consider the implementation of the resolutions of the national conference, saying this was the only way problems being encountered by most of the states in the federation could be solved, Vanguard reports.
Mrs. Fayose revealed this In a statement yesterday by her Special Assistant on Media, Mr Gbenga Ariyibi in Erio-Ekiti during an empowerment programme.
She observed that the need for the implementation is because some of the resolutions reached at the conference can help make Nigeria better. She observed that the resolution on the devolution of power and the adjustment of the sharing formula of federal allocation would have resolved the problems present in the sharing of federal allocation to states and all the local governments in Nigeria.
The statement read: “It is a matter of regret that the resolutions reached during the last national confab is yet to be implemented by the federal government.
“If this has been done, it would have gone a long way in solving most of the teething problems being faced by the states and each of the 774 local governments we are having in the country."
She lamented that most states presently could not pay salary of the workers, or meet its obligation to the people of their states because of the lopesidedness of the allocation which tends to favour federal government at the expense of other two tiers of governments i .e states and local governments.
