Governors Express Relief as Supreme Court Ruling on LG Autonomy Eases Their Responsibilities
The Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State, expresses relief following the Supreme Court ruling on local government financial autonomy, stating that it eases the pressure on governors.
He addressed an audience at the State House in Abuja on Friday, accompanied by the Governors of Bauchi and Imo States, Bala Mohammed and Hope Uzodimma, respectively.
He said, “We welcome the ruling of the Supreme Court, compliance is a given and our Attorney Generals have applied for the enrollment order, which we’ll study carefully. But by and large, governors are happy with the devolution of power with respect to local government autonomy,”
“It relieves the burden on governors. Our people really don’t know how much states expend in bailing out local governments, and that’s the issue there.”
