Tinubu Urges Governors to Implement Supreme Court Ruling on Local Government Autonomy
In a political move, Tinubu calls on governors to implement Supreme Court's ruling granting financial autonomy to local governments in Nigeria. The ruling mandates the release of funds directly to local governments, bypassing state control.
This demand was made during an APC meeting in Abuja. The Supreme Court upheld the judgment for fiscal autonomy for 774 local governments, ending joint account operations with states.
Tinubu's call aims to strengthen grassroots governance and tackle insecurity at the local level.
