Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has appealed to the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to increase the federal allocation to the state to support its development efforts.

The governor made the request on Sunday while receiving Mrs. Nkechi Otti, the Federal Commissioner representing Abia State at the RMAFC, during a courtesy visit to his office.

Governor Otti emphasized that an improved allocation would enable his administration to deliver more developmental projects, noting that Abia has already demonstrated prudent financial management.

 “Anything you can do to help us increase our Federal allocation will be very much appreciated... We have a lot of things on our hands. If we get more money to be able to execute them, why not? Particularly, we have also shown financial discipline,” he stated.

Earlier, Mrs. Nkechi Otti said she was in the state for a familiarisation visit, following her recent appointment to the Commission.
