The Senate has
called for a review of Nigeria’s revenue sharing formula to give states and
local government areas greater share than what they get in the current formula,
which gives more to the federal government.
The Senate
said the current formula is “unconstitutional” and does not reflect the
country’s present realities.
The Senate
on Wednesday rejected a constitutional review proposal to devolve greater
powers to the states, after complaints the proposal did not seek to give the
federating units greater share of the national revenue and control over
resources.
