Rivers to receive federal allocation despite ongoing legal battle

The Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) has announced that Rivers State will continue to receive its federal allocations, despite an ongoing legal battle.

This decision comes after the state government filed an appeal against a recent court ruling that restrained the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from disbursing financial allocations to the state government.

According to Bawa Mokwa, Director of Press and Public Relations at the OAGF during an interview with newsmen, the decision to continue allocating funds to Rivers State is based on the appeal court’s override of the previous court order.
