Ex-Gov. Uduaghan Backs State Police

Ex-Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State bares his mind on the state of the nation recently: “I was one of the earliest advocates of state police even more so now. That is the only way we can reduce the upsurge of kidnapping and other criminal issues in the country.”

“The current revenue sharing formula is heavily in favour of the federal government on the bases of the federal government getting 52.68 percent while the state and local government councils get 26.72 and 20.60 percent respectively. “I am for load shedding by the federal government. The federal government should do less in primary and secondary education, health, agriculture and water resources. The revenue sharing formula will be adjusted accordingly.
