Though a matter for the executive arm of government, Oyegun said the executive at federal and state levels would still have to consider the demand in line with their ability to pay.
”That is always what happens (the demand) but this must be based on the economic realities on the ground, the ability to pay," Oyegun said.
”Perhaps to even demonstrate that this is not a central but a federal matter, that states should be allowed to make their decisions based on their ability to pay.
