“To me, this will greatly douse the tension and suspicion among residents that area councils are getting so much and doing nothing with the funds. Besides, if the federal government can publish a detailed account of monthly allocations to states and local governments across the country, then the FCT Administration should follow that example set by the government at the centre,” Aliyu said in the statement.
