Supreme Court Reserves Judgment on Osun LG Funds Case Against AGF
The Supreme Court of Nigeria has reserved judgment in a case against the Attorney General of the Federation over the withholding of local government funds in Osun State. The case, led by Justice Uwani, involves the federal government challenging the AGF's actions.
The court is yet to announce the date for the judgment. The plaintiff's counsel, Musibau Adetunbi, seeks the immediate release of statutory allocations to the 30 LGAs in Osun State and a halt to the withholding of funds.
On the other hand, the AGF's counsel, Akin Olujimi, argues that the case lacks legal authority. The outcome will have significant implications for the distribution of funds to local governments in the state.
