According to him, there was a decrease in the average price of crude oil from 55.18 dollars per barrel to 50.27 dollars per barrel.

He also said a significant decrease in export volume by 3.20 million barrels resulted in decreased revenue from export sales for the federation by 183.68 million dollars.

Idris said Lagos state has been identified as an oil producing state and that the relevant agencies to quantify the amount of crude produced by the state and what was accruable to the state would get to it.

The Chairman, Commissioners of Finance Forum, Mr Mahmood Yunuusa of Adamawa State, said states were working hard to ensure that they diversify their inflows.

“We are determined to see that in the next one year we reduce our dependence on what comes from the centre and whatever comes from the centre will be dedicated to projects.’’ (NAN)
