    Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun: gives a breakdown of what each state got from Paris Club refund

    Kano, Bayelsa, Delta and Akwa Ibom States got the biggest chunk of the latest tranche of Paris loan refund that was shared to all states in Nigeria.

    The four states got N10 billion each. Only Kano is not an oil-producing state among the lot.

    The Federal Government has released a state-by-state breakdown of another tranche of refund amounting to N243.8 billion being over-deductions on Paris Club, London Club Loans.

    The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, in a statement on Tuesday, said that the debt service deductions were in respect of the Paris Club, London Club and Multilateral debts of the Federal and State government from 1995 to 2002.

    President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier approved the release of N522.74 billion as first tranche of payment to states.

    “These payments, which totalled N243, 795,465,195, were made to the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory upon the approval of the president on May 4, 2017.

    “This is in partial settlement of long-standing claims by state governments relating to over-deductions from their Federation Account Allocation Committee for external debt service arising between 1995 and 2002.

    “The funds were released to state governments as part of the wider efforts to stimulate the economy and were specifically designed to support states in meeting salary and other obligations, thereby alleviating the challenges faced by workers.

    “The releases were conditional upon a minimum of 75 per cent being applied to the payment of workers’ salaries and pensions for states that owe salaries and pension.

    “The Federal Ministry of Finance is reviewing the impact of these releases on the level of arrears owed by state governments.

    “A detailed report is being compiled for presentation to the acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, as part of the process for approval for the release of any subsequent tranches,” she said.

    A breakdown of the payment, showed that Abia got N5.72 billion; Adamawa, N6.11 billion; Akwa Ibom, N10 billion; Anambra, N6.12 billion; Bauchi, N6.88 billion; Bayelsa, N10 billion; Benue, N6.85 billion; and Borno N7.34 billion.
