Katsina State governor, Aminu Bello Masari, has warned that the insecurity in the country may be escalated if the Federation Account Allocation Committee, (FAAC), fails to share allocations to state and local governments in May.
Masari, who addressed State House reporters in Abuja on Thursday after meeting with the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, was responding to the alarm by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC), that States might get less from the Federation Account next month owing to the huge petrol subsidy payment.
The governor said inability of States and local government councils to fund responsibilities might escalate the security crisis in the country, adding that a declaration of state of emergency on security could not solve the current insecurity the country.
He said the security situation in Katsina was still of high concern, but added that his administration was doing everything to control it.
