“Ebonyi State Governor’s Lack of Awareness on Salt Factory Revenue Sparks Controversy”
Governor’s Surprising Revelation
Francis Erishi Nwifuru, the governor of Ebonyi State, has ignited a social media uproar due to his apparent lack of awareness regarding the revenue generated by the state’s salt factory.
During a recent interview on Arise News, the governor confessed to having no knowledge of the salt factory’s financial contributions to the Federal government.
State Versus Federal Jurisdiction
Governor Nwifuru emphasized that only the federal Ministry of Mines and Steel Development possesses the authority to disclose the financial figures associated with Ebonyi’s salt industry.
He explained that salt production falls under the state-exclusive list rather than the concurrent list, making it beyond the state government’s purview to determine the factory’s revenue for the Federal government.
Limited Sources of State Revenue
The governor clarified that the state’s income is derived solely from community development efforts and not from the salt industry.
This revelation has raised questions and concerns among Nigerians, especially considering the significance of the nation’s resources and the apparent lack of awareness on the part of the state leader.
Mixed Reactions
The video of Governor Nwifuru’s statement has prompted a flurry of reactions on social media. Nigerians have expressed their concerns over the apparent disparity in resource control between the federal and state governments.
While some sympathize with the governor’s recent assumption of office, others question the governance system that places control firmly in the hands of the federal government.
Nigerians Weigh In
Dr. Flakky (PhD) shared thoughts on the matter, highlighting the issue of inequality and the federal government’s extensive control over state resources.
Meanwhile, Chikwere defended the governor’s position, citing his short time in office and the challenges of acquiring such detailed knowledge within a limited timeframe.
The admission by Ebonyi State’s governor regarding his lack of awareness of the salt factory’s revenue has ignited a debate on resource control and governance in Nigeria.
