What happened
A group known as the Oyo State Grassroots Financial Accountability Initiative called on Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to publish records regarding statutory allocations to the state’s 33 local government areas. The group acknowledged the governor’s right to demand payment of any outstanding funds owed to Oyo State by the Federal Government. However, the initiative also stated that residents are entitled to information about allocations intended for local governments over the past eight years.
