Labour Scores Govs Low as Agricultural and Infrastructure Subsidies See N1.7tn Rise

Labour's funding has increased by N1.7 trillion due to government subsidies, while opposition groups have criticized states for neglecting key areas such as agriculture and infrastructure. The Niger Delta region has also received criticism from the National Labour Congress (NLC) over its allocation.

State governors have been left reeling after Labour Party officials revealed that their subsidy gains have increased by N1.7 trillion, a significant allocation that has sparked criticism for neglecting critical sectors such as agriculture and infrastructure. The National Labour Congress (NLC) has lambasted the governors for failing to utilize these funds effectively, leading to opposition groups expressing similar dissatisfaction with allocations in Bauchi, Ogun, Bayelsa, and other states. This development highlights ongoing tensions between state governments and their critics over resource allocation and delivery of essential services. As a result, the handling of federal funding has become a contentious issue in Nigeria's governance landscape.
