States Not Creative With Their FAAC May Shutdown In 6 Months – FRC

The Chairman, Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC), Chief Victor Murako, has warned of a possible shutdown by some states of the federation in the next six months unless they find creative ways of handling their dwindling allocations from the Federation Account.

Murako, who spoke at the opening of a two-day study tour of the FRC by officials of the Ebonyi Fiscal Responsibility Commission in Abuja on Monday, expressed shock that the Nigerian Governors’ Forum had declared that the states could no longer meet the payment of the minimum wage of N18,000 per month.

The FRC boss said many states were dishonest about their level of indebtedness, adding they were much more indebted than the governors were willing to admit in public.

Why A Drop In Inflation Does Not Necessarily Mean A Drop In Prices Of Commodities

July 17, 2019

He said, “The truth is that if the situation we are in persists for the next six months; I said six months, not one year or two years; we will be on the floor. If the revenue continues to dwindle for the next six months and the allocations continue being low, some state governments that refuse to look for alternative revenue sources will definitely crash and there will be a labour crisis.

“Debts and borrowing have become the biggest problem of subnational governments. If most state governments will be honest and tell you their accurate debt profile, you will marvel. A lot of them try to hide by different strategies. They take short term loans; some, long-term ones that will go beyond their tenure, which ordinarily, they should not do.”

He added, “You must find ways and means to trigger state companies and parastatals that over the years have been collecting money rather than remitting money to the government coffers. If you investigate some of them, you will find that they are making so much money.

“We cannot continue to shy away from the current realities. The Fiscal Responsibility Commissions are agencies of the government that have been used all over the world to transform nations such as India, Brazil, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, and several other countries.”

He said it was regrettable that the nation was no longer discussing how to meet the infrastructure gap, but how to finance recurrent expenditure.

The FRC boss also chided the state governments for lack of creativity, saying that if they were private concerns; they would be generating profits from the huge endowments found in the different states of the federation.

The Chairman of the Ebonyi State Fiscal Responsibility Commission, Mr. Vincent Mbam, said the team was in Abuja to build their capacity in order to help achieve the change mantra in the country.
