Many states had, before now, said they were waiting to see the modus operandi from the centre before kick-starting their processes. This lame-duck strategy is unacceptable. Meanwhile, Gombe State has openly declared that it cannot afford to pay the new wage structure, citing lean resources. It is obvious that not all states have equal financial capacity to meet up with the new wage challenges. For instance, while Delta State collected N43.7 billion from FAAC in July, yet despite a quantum increase in the distributable revenue pool, Ogun State received a paltry N6.3 billion in comparison. Some other states are worse off, perhaps due to debt deductions.This moment of reality, therefore, requires governance fashioned along the template of prudence and accountability.

In fact, that expenditure item is a conduit for the theft of public funds, as affirmed by a few former governors.
