Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, says the Federal Government cannot commence its plans to make deductions from the federation account for payment of consultants for the Paris Club Refund.
Fayemi stated this yesterday while fielding questions from newsmen on the sidelines of the 27th Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja.
He said the Federal Government plans to begin deduction from the federation account for payment of $418 million private consultants who took part in the Paris Club Refund.
The Governor maintained that the move by the Federal Government is projected to affect the recurrent expenditure of at least 33 states and they may not be able to pay the salaries of their workers.
