Sam Onuigbo Urges Governors to Allow Direct Allocation of Funds to Local Governments for Transparency and Development

In a bid to enhance transparency and empower local governments, former House of Representatives member Sam Onuigbo has called on governors to emulate Governor Zulum of Borno State by permitting the direct allocation of funds to local government councils. Onuigbo highlighted the move as a means to boost transparency and empower grassroots development.

He emphasized the importance of ensuring that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's reform efforts trickle down to the local level. By advocating for financial independence for local government councils, Onuigbo aims to improve governance and service delivery at the grassroots level.
