The Federal Government has clarified that it has not stopped the disbursement of funds to Rivers State.
This is according to the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Office of the Accountant General of the Federal, Bawa Mokwa.
Bawa Mokwa explained that the notice of appeal filed by the Rivers state government has overridden the earlier court judgment on the withholding of the state allocations.
The statement said disbursement of October allocation to states and local governments by FAAC is ongoing, adding that Rivers state will benefit because of a subsisting appeal and stay of execution order.
