As the Federal Government and Governors of the 36 States await the judgment of the Supreme Court on revenue distribution, Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, Tuesday urged the Federal Government to consider a holistic review of revenue allocation among the three tiers of government.

Speaking on the nation's federal structure, the governor observed that a review of the resource allocation formula will help accelerate economic growth and as well bring about even development across the country.

While calling for effective planning, Ahmed said: "We have to work hard to be stronger as a benchmark for other African countries, we should be clear leaders in defining unity in diversity, such kind of event will create a platform for the people to feel the impact of the projects."

He maintained that, the impact can be achieved when future resources can be allocated accordingly, "the government should review the way resources are allocated at the federal, a review of resources allocation is required in terms of it projects in various states."

"This initiative deserves commendation, because it is a platform to have a feel of what the states are doing, projects abandoned or not touched at all, this will afford us to see what has been done and how resources will be shared," he said.
