The Federal Government has established a 10-member committee to enforce the Supreme Court’s ruling on local government autonomy.
The committee, chaired by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, aims to ensure that local governments are granted full autonomy, allowing them to function effectively without interference from state governments.
According to the Director of Information & Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen, the committee’s primary goal is to ensure the effective implementation of the Supreme Court’s ruling, which granted financial autonomy to local governments across Nigeria.
“The committee’s primary goal is to ensure that local governments are granted full autonomy, allowing them to function effectively without interference from state governments. This move is in line with President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to give appropriate implementation to the provisions of the Constitution, which recognizes local governments as the third tier of government,” Imohiosen said.
