Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, on Sunday promised to ensure his state develops rapidly if the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) increases the money allocated to the state.
He made the commitment while receiving a delegation led by the Federal Commissioner representing Abia State at the RMAFC, Mrs. Nkechi Otti.
The Governor while making the plea, said a recent report from the Debt Management Office (DMO) indicated that his administration has demonstrated financial discipline.
He, therefore, argued that an improved revenue from Federal allocations would help him to execute more projects in Abia State.

Speaking during the visit, Otti said, “Anything you can do to help us increase our Federal allocation will be very much appreciated.
“Once again, thank you for the report. I will take my time and read through it.
“We have a lot of things on our hands. If we get more money to be able to execute them, why not? Particularly, we have also shown financial discipline.”
Earlier, Mrs Otti told the governor that she was in the State for a familiarisation visit, having been appointed into office a few months ago.
