please i don't understand, whats the economic effect of these new LCDA's? because with the current state of that state i don't think they need all these.. gosh na wa ooo..

SMH!

fistonati:
Wonders shall never end, when he ought to apply to the senate for reductions in the local govts in his state. If aregbesola thinks this will be another money spinning avenue, its a bad game plan this time.

In fact aregbesola should be treated like a criminal. He should be flogged in public

Have you thought of where the money to pay the salaries would come from or you want him to stretch the already lean resources your state has.some times we have to let our leaders know that the grass they are smoking is the cheap fake ones.

Is this boy ok for creating addition LG? Trully this Aregbesola is on Osun Weed.

Monimatic:
The governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has announced the creation of 31 new Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs, by his administration.
Mr. Aregbesola stated this Tuesday in a state‎ broadcast to the people of the state. He said additional 31 Local Council development Areas, 3 area councils and two administrative offices were created.
The governor said his administration would make ‎judicious use of its revenues in a way that increasing the number of councils will least constitute any financial burden.
Mr. Aregbesola also announced the dissolution of the management committees of the existing 30 Local Councils and Area Office, their executive secretaries, deputy executive secretaries, members, special advisers and other functionaries.
The government had sent a request for additional local councils to the state House of Assembly, which later passed the bill.
Speaking on why the state was creating more councils at a time of financial challenges, Mr. Aregbesola said his administration had given the decision sufficient consideration, and had put in place measures to cut cost.
He added that the responsibilities of the new councils include bringing development to the people, managing the markets, generating more revenue, amongst others.


The governor said the state would be saving huge cost with the new councils. He said no new appointment would be made as the same number of staff will still run all the councils.
‎He said the entire local government system would be managed by Council Managers for three months. The managers are to be appointed and deployed by Local Government Service Commission from among the substantive grade level 14 officers in the local governments.
‎”Many would be wondering and asking: why create more councils at this special time of financial challenges? We have also given sufficient consideration to this. With this new parliamentary system, it will cost less to run the new councils and save a lot of money for the government than in the past. 
“The primary responsibilities of our new local government system are sanitation, market management and revenue mobilisation and generation. This is consistent with local government administration worldwide.
“The beauty of this new system is its parliamentary nature, which requires the chairman and the vice chairman to be elected by the councillors from among their own ranks, thereby saving cost,” the governor said.

If this is true, then I can only reach a conclusion:
We have a completely clueless and incompetent man as governor of Osun State.
This man must be high on some drugs or something! You cannot fund what you have now and you are creating 31 more without any plans on how to fund them! Only fools do that!

Is he alright?

segalex:
This aregbe guy needs psychiatric evaluation, a governor that can't pay workers salary yet thinks creating more LGs is the way to go?
Not minding the rubbish he stated up there, there's no way this will not additional financial burden on the state, what's the merit or advantage of creating more LGs now?
He also said the LGs will be running parliamentary system of govt, is osun state now a separate nation on its own that it can decide what system of govt to run despite the constitution saying otherwise?
Are there no provisions in the constitution on how chairmen of local governments should emerge?
This guy doesn't cease to amaze me

Na today? U neva see wetin he turn educational system into? Everything is wrong with the man!

Astuteleader:
Without jumping to unnecessary and invalid conclusions.. Someone with elaborate knowledge of this, should explain to me with all relevant examples the logic behind this act of Aregbe.

This move is more of a political move than developmental one and i'll try to explain..

Osun has 30 LGAs recognized by the Federal government.. and only these 30 LGAs will receive allocations from the FG.

The new LCDAs will not get any allocation from the FG.. So the state will have to seek alternative source of funding for these LCDAs. And most likely the funding will come from sharing the the Initial 30 LGAs allocation using a formula.

This is a bad for development because more money that could've been used for developmental projects will go into administrative overheard and other recurrent expenditures because these new LCDAs will have their own budgets too.

Politically, this move if executed properly will enthrone Aregbe as a political Godfather in Osun. Because the LCDAs will ensure he's got a strong hold on the grassroots as the guys that will man these LCDAs will be his loyal lieutenants.

Aregbe is just copying Tinubu"s moves in Lagos.. Let's wait and see how this his plans will work out

He is from the most sophisticated part of 9ja.

are you sophisticated.

maybe he has been hiding the money 2 create more LGA then release it at the end of the tunnel

aariwa:
Who will fund those councils?

Na charity

More profligacies for the political class. More local government chairmen, more vice chairmen, more secretaries, aides, special assistants....the list is endless. While sensible governments worldwide are downsizing, a financially and mentally bankrupt government down here is ballooning. All stand!

Remii:
. On the contrary reduction of LGA reduces your income since fgn give LGAs money directly from top, the move is good if they will follow what he said in the broadcast, no new staff, no bogus election,

In like manner, increasing local councils (not LGAs), won't make the FG give state more allocations. Citing the example of Lagos State, it shows that constitutionally, it has 20 LGAs. But in 2002 Tinubu established 30 LCDAs. The FG only gives the state allocation for the 20 LGAs while the state sources for funds for the 30 LCDAs.

For those who think this won't cost the state any extra money, have you consider the newly created LCDA will need new set of stationeries

That alone will definitely run into millions because am sure the government press will not be used for such jobs but contractors.

Now I see why Fayose and Aregbe are friends, same agenda different party.

Osun Airport=Ekiti Airport

Well I'm not surprised here, is it not the same clown that built the tallest talking drum & bought ipads for students in a wretched, backward & bankrupt state Now again in his ego trip, the ruffian is trying to increase over-head & recurent expenditure! Tomorrow he will still decieve himself & Buhari in requesting for more bailout money. No wonder the country is in a mess, re.tard.s have been ruling since 1960!!!

Another avenue to loot funds. Later aregbe go come sey money no reach to feed the people of osun. #FG be wise

In my own view, this will bring more politicians into the system giving more elites edge over the poor masses. It is a systematic way of disenfranchising the masses.

Bad "leaders" every where.

Some of you who don't even understand how this works are opening ur buccal shii to spew trash.
What happens is creation of more local councils brings governance closer to the masses, it also aids development as each local council would at least have an headquarters.
And to those making noise about funding, what happens is it is the present apparatus( I mean human and financial resources) that is shared and it better gets to the grass roots
Another advantage of this is it helps to generate more funds for the govt, as each local council now generates funds and it also aids effectiveness.
Creation of states or local govt has always been seen to aid development at the grassroot levels.People should criticize policies constructively and offer alternatives and not just run ur mouths because you have to

Funny how someone in Oshodi or Alaba will sit in his room and talk about things he doesn't understand

Am ashamed of dis man

they always share allocation for each LGA among resultant lcda, fair share , they call it.

governor Aregbe Ogbeni is overwhelmed and should resign

thesicilian:
Great. More money down the drain of salaries and allowances

God is greater than Raifu omo Ali, he has planed to destablish Nigeria, that is why he came with the name of great warior Oranmiyan but the real Oranmiyan working against him and he turned him to debitor, ten successors of raifu cannot finish the debt owe by Aregbesola administration in osun state

I guess he's trying to fix more people up with caretakers appointment. Is it compulsory to rule,if you have no idea again abeg leave office

Right from the outset of his tenure, he has been eager to quickly replicate the Jagaban methods of Lagos in osun, not taking into cognisance the peculiarity and difference between the two states especially as it, affects culture and economy.
You seem to know just how to generate more funds than the IRS... Please explain especially in the case of Osun.

Suffice it to say that creation of LCDA will only worsen the present predicament of the grassroot people, and further deepen their suffering than it is already.
Apparently you have little understanding on the penury and hardship aregbes government has brought upon osun people. Peradventure you do, i'm sure you are beclouded by your 'knowledge' of government/governance.

Lastly, you talk as if you and the governor just concluded a closed-door meeting at the white house in abeere.
Most Government offices cant even get funds to buy A4 paper, toners to printers, the same government that cannot even swallow its pride and stop the school feeding owing to lack of funds but came on media blackmailing the cooks for rationing food served to the kids.

Every move by the governor is counter-intuitive. In saner climes, they resign when clue is no more.

THIS NEED TO BE COPIED IN KOGI STATE,TO BALANCE HEAVILY MARGINALISED EBIRAS TO BALANCE UP LGS,THATS WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO CLAIM WE ARE MINORITY,WHEN WE HAVE THE HIGHEST POPULATION.WE NEED IE OSARA LGA,IHIMA LGA,EBIYA LGA,KUROKO LGA ETC.

This isn't development. First, go and clear the salary arrears of your staff

A state that is surviving on bail out from FG? What is their IGR? What are they adding to the national purse? And yet they want to increase their wage bill? This is not fair at all. From where will their salaries come from? All these clueless leaders sef

Share the blame equally, those "retards" were voted in by people.. And despite their unfortunate experiences down the years, they will still vote in a new set of retards come tomorrow... The juju is strong on the Nigerian populace.
