Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has said economic reforms introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have increased the state’s monthly allocation from the Federation Account from about ₦4.5 billion to approximately ₦16 billion.

Sule said the increase had expanded the state’s fiscal capacity and enabled his administration to undertake major infrastructure and development projects across the state.

The governor spoke in Lafia while receiving members of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors National Media Tour, led by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

The team, comprising presidential media aides and more than 50 senior journalists, is touring North-Central states to inspect federal and state government projects and assess the impact of government policies.

Sule attributed the increase in allocations largely to the removal of fuel subsidy and other economic reforms implemented by the Tinubu administration.

He recalled that before the reforms, Nasarawa received between ₦3.8 billion and ₦4.5 billion monthly from the Federation Account, limiting the government’s ability to execute major capital projects.

According to him, although the reforms initially created economic hardship, Tinubu demonstrated political courage by taking responsibility for difficult decisions which, he said, were necessary to improve the country’s fiscal position.

“For us in Nasarawa State, we are very transparent. I came from the private sector, so every contract I give, I announce the amount that we are spending on that contract,” Sule said.

He added that the increased resources had enabled the state government to invest in roads, industrialisation, education, healthcare and water supply.

The governor also stressed the importance of communicating government policies effectively to citizens, particularly when reforms produce short-term difficulties before their benefits become apparent.

He commended Onanuga and members of the media team for undertaking the inspection tour, saying it would provide an opportunity for Nigerians to independently assess projects being implemented by the federal and state governments.

Onanuga, in his remarks, praised Tinubu for implementing reforms that previous administrations had acknowledged as necessary but failed to undertake.

He cited the removal of fuel subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange market as major decisions that initially generated inflation and hardship but, according to him, have subsequently begun yielding benefits.

Onanuga also recalled Sule’s early support for the reforms, saying the governor had described Tinubu as having “taken the bullet” on behalf of states and local governments.

During the tour, the media team inspected several projects in Nasarawa, including the state secretariat, a one-megawatt solar farm, the 16-kilometre Makurdi bypass, the Wing Commander Abdullahi Ibrahim Vocational and Skills Acquisition Centre, Shinge Waterstorm Channel and Kilema Bridge along the Lafia-Doma Road.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Public Enlightenment, AbulAziz AbdulAziz, said the infrastructure projects witnessed across Nasarawa and Benue indicated that the Renewed Hope Agenda was translating into tangible development
