    A recent investigation by PLATFORM TIMES has revealed that the administration of Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, received a total of ₦335.81 billion in federal allocations between May 2019 and April 2025.

    The data, sourced from the civic tech platform BudgIT, covers a six-year period of monthly disbursements from the Federation Account and highlights the fiscal inflows into Ogun State under Abiodun’s stewardship since he succeeded Senator Ibikunle Amosun in 2019.

    A breakdown of the figures shows consistent growth in allocations over the years, with the highest inflow recorded in 2024 – a year after election – when the state received ₦104.04 billion, while the lowest was in the COVID-hit year of 2020, with ₦40.66 billion.

    PLATFORM TIMES investigation revealed that monthly allocations peaked in August 2024, when the state received ₦11.07 billion, while the lowest monthly disbursement was ₦2.42 billion in March 2020, coinciding with the global economic downturn triggered by the pandemic.

    Year-by-Year Breakdown:

    2025 (Jan–Apr): ₦35.66bn

    2024: ₦104.04bn

    2023: ₦79.28bn

    2022: ₦53.63bn

    2021: ₦47.70bn

    2020: ₦40.66bn

    2019 (May–Dec): ₦25.84bn

    In total, Ogun State received ₦335.81 billion in six years from the Federal Government under Governor Abiodun’s administration.

    PLATFORM TIMES further gathered that the sharp rise in allocations reflects Nigeria’s broader fiscal expansion and oil revenue fluctuations, especially post-COVID.

    However, the increased allocations have also reignited calls for greater transparency and value-for-money audits in state expenditure.

    Civil society organisations have challenged the state government to publish detailed reports of how the funds were spent, noting the persisting infrastructure deficit and developmental gaps across local governments.

    “This level of allocation demands commensurate development,” said Ayodeji Folarin, a policy analyst. “There’s a need for open budgeting, performance audits, and citizen inclusion in monitoring public spending.”

    Despite the significant inflows, questions persist about Ogun’s debt profile, healthcare funding, and the pace of infrastructure delivery.

    Governor Abiodun, who marks six years in office this year, is expected to present a stewardship report ahead of his final year in office.

    Analysts believe this presents an opportunity to account for how over ₦335 billion in federal allocations have impacted the state’s socio-economic landscape.
