Hon. Fanda stated that the current revenue allocation formula has reached an advanced stage, making it necessary to validate the integrity and accuracy of the data that will guide revenue distribution.
He added that during their stay, the team will collaborate with relevant ministries, departments, agencies, and local authorities to ensure comprehensive data verification that reflects the current realities on the ground.
He also appealed for the support and cooperation of the state government, noting that the outcome of the exercise will have significant implications for both the state and the nation at large.
