The state reads: “From December last year reach August this year, the money each governor collected from the federal government is ₦570 billion as additional support. “


“At no time did I say that State Governors received ₦570 Billion each from the Federal Government.


“What the States and the FCT collectively received in reimbursements between the end of 2023 and July 2024, under the World Bank-supported NG-CARES program, is a total of ₦573 Billion Naira, as follows:


“₦135.4B in late 2023, and ₦438.36B last month. These numbers are in the public domain, in the spirit of transparency, and should not be the subject of distortion or sensationalism in the media.”
