World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported48m ago
The Nigerian Presidency has officially refuted claims made by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde regarding the distribution of Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) dividends. Governor Makinde had alleged that the Federal Government is withholding ₦250 billion in dividends from each state, purportedly until after the 2027 general elections.
In response, Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, dismissed the governor's assertions as false. The administration’s statement serves as a direct denial of the accusation that funds are being sequestered for political reasons.
