Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, clarified that the ₦573 billion was shared collectively among the 36 state governors and the Ministry of the Federal Capital Territory from late 2023 to July 2024. This amount was a reimbursement under the World Bank-supported NG-Cares program.

Idris addressed misinformation following a report from an online source, which inaccurately claimed that each governor received ₦570 billion. He stated, “At no time did I say that State Governors received ₦570 billion each from the Federal Government.”

The total amount reimbursed, as disclosed, was ₦135.4 billion in late 2023 and ₦438.36 billion last month. Idris emphasized that these figures are publicly available and urged against any distortion or sensationalism in reporting.
