Delta North Senator, Ned Nwoko, has expressed confidence in the feasibility of creating Anioma State.
Speaking in an interview on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST, Senator Nwoko said the proposed state has the resources to be self-sustaining.
When asked whether the creation of new states was advisable, given that some existing states in Nigeria struggle to pay workers’ salaries, the lawmaker replied, “Are you aware that in Delta State, for example, we have the largest allocation every month from the Federal Account Allocation Committee?
“This comes from oil and gas resources. Delta North has almost 40 per cent of that allocation. And that 40 per cent is more than what you have in Ebonyi, Enugu, or Zamfara. We are much more ready than present states.”
