    For these reports to reflect true transparency, it must provide at the least, a basic framework for resource allocation between recurrent, capital and other projects funded from IGR as well as grants anticipated or received and not the high level report provided above. The way States and the Federal Government is been run lacks rational and best practices. Also, the fact that governors of Nigeria make spending decisions without legislative appropriations means that Nigeria will be in the dark for a prolonged period of time.
