The BudgIT Nigeria has listed 14 states that will struggle if the Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) stops its payment.
According to a post on its official X account on Thursday afternoon, the BudgIT Nigeria said such states will find it difficult to exist.
“Hello Nigerians, here are 14 states that will STRUGGLE if FAAC allocation stops coming in today!,” it wrote.
“If FAAC disappears today, these states will struggle to pay salaries, pension and gratuity. This is because they rely on FAAC for at least 70% of their total revenue.”
