Nasarawa State government don take a big step towards giving local governments more autonomy. The state executive has introduced a new bill to amend the existing Local Government law, according to reports from Punch NG.
This move is in line with the recent Supreme Court judgement that affirmed the financial autonomy of local governments. The bill, which is currently before the state legislature, aims to align the state’s LG law with the Supreme Court’s ruling.
The introduction of this bill is seen as a significant step towards decentralizing power and ensuring that local governments have more financial independence to carry out their duties effectively.
This development is part of a broader national effort to strengthen local government administration, a move that has been welcomed by many as a step in the right direction for Nigeria‘s development.
