A former Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters to Second Republic President Shehu Shagari and a delegate to the National Conference in Abuja, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, has said additional states will increase the cost of governance.
Yakasai, who spoke with our reporter in Kano yesterday, noted that the creation of more states would be tantamount to adding more burden to the Federal Government’s huge financial load.
The former adviser said he was uncomfortable with the existing 36-state structure, adding that it consumes a large chunk of the nation’s revenue.
