It was reported that payments to some states may be delayed as a result of a suit filed by the consultant engaged by the Nigerian Governors Forum.

The Federal Government had in July released the second tranche of N243.79bn, bringing the amount so far disbursed to states as refund under the Paris Club loan to N760.17bn.

A breakdown of the amount showed that five states received the highest amount of N10bn each.
