The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria<\/a> (ALGON) has commended progress made by the Federal Government on the implementation of the Supreme Court judgment that granted financial autonomy to local governments in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The commendation was given during the association\u2019s meeting in Abuja on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe federal government\u2019s implementation committee has made significant strides despite encountering challenges,\u201d Chairman of ALGON\u2019s Board of Trustees, Odunayo Ategbero, stated.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, the implementation committee reminded the local government councils to open accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for seamless financial operations.<\/p>\n

ALGON said the autonomy will address critical issues such as security, health and education at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith over 80% of Nigerians residing in local government areas, it is important to empower the third tier of government to rapidly drive social, political, economic and infrastructural development at the grassroots.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis includes implementing developmental issues, such as security, health, education, and more, to better the lives of citizens at the grassroots level,\u201d Ategbero said.<\/p>\n

The association noted that, with the autonomy, democracy has returned to the local government level, which will compel state governors to conduct genuine elections -a departure from the past where tickets were handed out to favourable candidates.<\/p>\n

Former National President of ALGON, Ibrahim Dasuki Jalo, stated that the association will partner States and the Federal Government to achieve maximum results.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
