Why Are Ebonyians Getting Poorer Despite Rising FAAC Allocations? PDP Demands Answers

A new assessment from the opposition PDP warns that rising monthly FAAC allocations to Ebonyi State are not translating into better living standards for most residents. The party’s report draws on surveys, community consultations, and field visits across all 13 local governments. It highlights concerns over growing youth unemployment, struggling small businesses, declining purchasing power, and visible signs of economic distress such as street begging and child labour. The report also flags a looming crisis in education, with rising out-of-school rates threatening the state’s future productivity. PDP questions the absence of a clear economic vision and urges the government to focus on industrialisation, private-sector investment, youth empowerment, and transparent governance. It calls on leaders to explain how increasing public revenues will improve everyday life for ordinary Ebonyians.
