Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has asked the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC, to increase revenue allocations due to Abia State, saying that it would enable the State to develop rapidly.<\/p>\n

Otti made the call on Sunday at his office, when he received a delegation from the Federal Commissioner representing Abia State at the RMAFC, Mrs. Nkechi Otti.<\/p>\n

The Abia Governor, who pointed that an increased revenue from Federal allocations would help the State to execute many of its projects, said that his administration had demonstrated financial discipline according to a recent report from the Debt Management Office, DMO.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything you can do to help us increase our Federal allocation will be very much appreciated.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again, thank you for the report. I will take my time and read through it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of things on our hands. If we get more money to be able to execute them, why not? Particularly, we have also shown financial discipline,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Speaking earlier, Mrs Otti said that she was in the State for a familiarisation visit, having been appointed into office a few months ago.<\/p>\n
