‘A Welcome Development,’ ALGON Praises Supreme Court Verdict On LG Autonomy

The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has hailed the Supreme Court verdict that granted financial autonomy to local government areas. 

“It is a welcome development as you all know even though there are certain states that have been enjoying this type of autonomy before now,” the ALGON National President Maifata Aminu Mu’azu said about the historic verdict on Friday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today. 

In its judgement on Thursday, the Supreme Court ordered the Federal Government to pay funds directly to local council area accounts.

It also described the action of state governors holding onto local government funds as unconstitutional.

According to the ALGON chief, the development is worth celebrating, especially for those at the grassroots. He said local government areas should be allowed to “breathe” by letting the verdict take course.
