That could amount to over \u20a64 trillion. The real question is: will it be spent or invested?\u201d Oyedele queried.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fiscal policy expert observed that while government revenues have surged\u2014FAAC allocations jumped from \u20a65.4 trillion in 2023 to \u20a611.4 trillion in 2024\u2014the impact on households remains minimal.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cStates are getting more money than ever before, yet citizens have less purchasing power. Governments are richer, but the people are poorer,\u201d he lamented, urging governors to direct new inflows toward projects that tangibly improve lives.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The BudgIT 2025 report revealed that 21 states still rely on federal allocations for over 70 percent of their income, a trend Oyedele described as unhealthy for sustainable growth. Nonetheless, he commended the fiscal progress recorded in Enugu and Bayelsa, which saw 381 percent and 174 percent increases in internally generated revenue, respectively.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noted that the new tax regime\u2014transferring full electronic money transfer levy proceeds to states and granting tax exemptions for state bonds\u2014would reduce borrowing costs and create room for capital investments.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis is a rare opportunity for states to build resilience, plug leakages, and channel funds into productive infrastructure,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oyedele further pointed out that, for the first time in years, capital expenditure has surpassed recurrent spending, though implementation in key social sectors remains weak.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cStates implemented only about two-thirds of their education budgets, spending less than \u20a67,000 per person. Health sector execution was even lower\u2014barely \u20a63,500 per citizen,\u201d he observed.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the debt front, Oyedele reported modest progress, with a \u20a62 trillion reduction in domestic debt and a $200 million decline in external obligations, as 31 states trimmed their debt profiles. However, he cautioned that over \u20a61.2 trillion in unpaid arrears to pensioners, workers, and contractors continues to weigh down state finances.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBorrowing isn\u2019t inherently bad; it\u2019s how the money is used that matters,\u201d he stressed.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the 2025 BudgIT ranking, Anambra led the fiscal performance index, followed by Lagos, Kwara, Abia, and Edo, while Cross River slipped sharply from fifth to 29th position, sparking concerns over fiscal governance.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also speaking at the event, Dr. Muhammad Abdullahi, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in charge of Economic Policy, urged states to institutionalize fiscal discipline and transparency as revenues expand.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He described the BudgIT report as \u201ca vital compass that has consistently illuminated fiscal truths, benchmarked state performance, and reinforced the importance of capital-focused budgeting.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Abdullahi noted that fiscal reforms in 2024 and 2025 had improved revenue and pushed capital spending above recurrent costs, but warned that complacency could reverse the gains.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe challenge now is to sustain this fiscal discipline,\u201d he said, advising states to digitize revenue collection, fully adopt Treasury Single Accounts, and raise education and health budget execution above 80 percent.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further disclosed that the CBN was developing a hedging instrument to protect states from foreign exchange risks and enhance liquidity.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The CBN chief explained that Nigeria\u2019s fiscal challenges stemmed from years of \u201cmultiple exchange rates, unchecked deficit financing, and depleted reserves,\u201d noting that the apex bank\u2019s current strategy is restoring credibility through orthodox monetary policy and a unified FX market.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Representing the Nigerian Governors\u2019 Forum (NGF), Razaq Fatai, Head of Economic Intelligence, said the State of States report had evolved into a vital accountability tool for governors and citizens alike.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noted that the NGF had collaborated with BudgIT over the years to improve data quality and ensure governors use findings to strengthen fiscal management.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe essence of this report is to guide decision-making and ensure data drives governance outcomes,\u201d Fatai said, adding that the Forum\u2019s initiatives\u2014such as the State Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability (SFTAS) programme and the State Action on Business Enabling Reforms (SABER)\u2014had deepened transparency and improved competitiveness among states.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, BudgIT Co-founder and Global Director, Oluseun Onigbinde, described the State of States report as \u201ca mirror reflecting the choices of subnational governments.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhat began as a simple call to make every kobo traceable has become a national benchmark for fiscal accountability,\u201d Onigbinde said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He warned, however, that Nigeria\u2019s fiscal stability remains fragile, with rising inflation, growing debt, and overdependence on FAAC still constraining state-level resilience.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Onigbinde urged states to prioritize education, healthcare, and infrastructure, emphasizing that \u201ctransparency must remain the foundation for public trust and progress.\u201d<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!--
