Breaking: Supreme Court grants local government full autonomy
The Supreme Court has delivered it’s judgement on local government autonomy.
The apex court on Thursday ordered that the federal government should henceforth pay allocations directly to local government councils from the federation account.
A seven-member panel of justices held that state governments have continued to abuse their powers by retaining and using the funds meant for LGAs.
In May, the federal government filed a suit at the supreme court against governors of the 36 states.
In the suit marked SC/CV/343/2024, the federal government asked for full autonomy for the country’s 774 local governments.
