According to the reports, Obasanjo's backing for a review of revenue distribution aligns with longstanding regional demands for greater resource control. Alongside calls for increased funding, Premium Times noted mounting public scrutiny over how governors across the oil-rich region have utilized billions already received, sharpening concerns over accountability and financial transparency.
