Supreme Court Picks Date For Final Judgment on LG Autonomy Case
SHARE

The Supreme Court has granted local government autonomy, with the apex court ordering the Nigerian Federal Government to pay monthly allocations to Local Government Areas in the country.

The order was contained in a ruling on Thursday, wherein the apex court asked the government to henceforth pay allocations directly to local government councils from the federation account.

Delivering judgment in the suit on Thursday, a seven-member panel of justices held that state governments have continued to abuse their powers by retaining and using the funds meant for LGAs.
