According to Ubandawaki, Kogi State allocation would be released after the conclusion of the ongoing review of its activities.

He said that the allocation of Akwa Ibom was suspended due to non-renewal of its operating licence.

He said that all the states are expected to remit payments of 50 per cent of the 2022 seats allocation to NAHCON before the February 10 deadline.

“The inability of any state to comply with the deadline date will lead to the reduction in the allocation to such state.”
