Niger State governor, Abubakar Sani Bello said the present economic recession was a blessing in disguise for all tiers of government as it has helped to reduce the over-dependence on federation account.
The governor in statement by the Chief Press Secretary, Jibrin Ndace yesterday , made this known while receiving members of the Senior course 39 Study Group 9 of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, AFCSC, Jaji at Government House, Minna.
The governor described the drop in oil revenues as well as the present economic recession as “blessing in disguise” to achieve sustainable growth and development by looking at other sources.
He explained that the implication of the financial down-turn is that the federal and state governments must work-hard to improvise ways of improving their internally generated revenue (IGR) to achieve their goals.
Governor Sani Bello expressed concern that the over-reliance on federation account has incapacitated most states in the country resulting to their inability to pay workers salary and deliver services to the people.
He disclosed that since assumption of office over a year ago, his administration has stimulated and re-energized the system and was determined to change the course of events through the institutionalization of due process and financial prudence.
In the same way , Governor Sani Bello noted that security is central in addressing all facets of development hence the need to combine effort in addressing the security challenges facing the nation.
According to him “we must all work together for a secured Nigeria. And in achieving this, we need all stakeholders to collectively work together with federal and state governments across Nigeria – security agencies, traditional, religious, community leaders, youth organization, NGO and vigilante group.“
Earlier, the team leader, Air Commodore Abubakar Sadiq Liman said members of the senior course 39 of the College were in the state on a study tour to carry out research into critical areas of socio-economic development of the state in particular and the country at large.
