LG autonomy: We’ll give them their money – Tinubu to APC govs
President Bola Tinubu has assured of his commitment to implement the Supreme Court judgment on local government autonomy in Nigeria.
This was as he urged State governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to ensure that they don’t interfere with funds of the local governments.
Speaking during the APC Caucus meeting held at the Presidential Villa on Thursday, Tinubu said the implementation must be practical and effective.
According to Tinubu: “Let us equally look at the recent Supreme Court judgement. What can we do with it, and how well we can position our country and our party?
“To me, the local government autonomy is and must be effective. Let us give them. There is no autonomy without a funded mandate.
“We give them their money directly. That’s the truth. That’s compliance with the supreme court.”
The president also charged the governors to be flexible and be involved in the happenings in their respective states.
