“The judgment of the Supreme Court on local government autonomy is a distraction. We must face the real issues that we have. The issue that we have is that we are not producing enough. We are not productive,” Makinde said.

This statement comes after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of local government autonomy, granting the 774 local government councils in Nigeria the constitutional right to manage their finances autonomously without interference from state governments.
