LGA’s no get bank account? Just set Government and local independent auditors on them. To prepare Quarterly and Annual Audits on their revenues and expenditures.
Auditors don hammer be that.
Everybody in 9ja just wants a cut.
Gone are the days of professionalism and ethical standards.

➜Anambra has already passed such bill
Even the Nigerian Police Force has taken to constantly disregarding the constitution in its dealings with the citizenry. So, what do you want do you want me to say? undecided

➜If people begin to see the benefits,it would be a very good campaign point to vote out any gov that tries to hijack LG funds.....LGs in Lagos are already doing so much in terms of road infrastructure and health care......I can personally attest to that.
This is my problem with you Nigerians. Even before actual implementation has commenced, we have those of you who would turn praise singers on the dime. πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

States and LGs can have multiple accounts in multiple banks while designating a specific account for FG allocations.

FG's job is to send money to their designated bank account, but LGs are regulated by state assemblies.

If FG sends them money, state assembly can ask them to make funds available in a specified joint bank account with the state.

Anambra state lawmakers already passed a LG Administration Law last year after the SC ruling, mandating LGs to deposit money allocated by FG into a Joint Account with the state. The state will deduct a percentage and send the rest to the LG.

https://punchng.com/soludo-signs-anambra-lg-law-says-absolute-lg-autonomy-would-create-chaos/

Highlights of the bill:

Section 13(1) of the bill provides that the state shall maintain a β€œState Joint Local Government Account,” into which all federal allocations to local governments in Anambra State must be deposited.

Section 14(3) of the bill stipulates that each local government in the state must remit a state-determined percentage to the consolidated account within two working days of receiving their allocations from the Federation Account.

Section 14(4) maintains that if the state receives the local government allocation on their behalf, it must deduct the specified percentage before disbursing the remaining funds to the local governments.

So anambra state government can't even function without local govt funds? Other states like delta, rivers, adamawa and lagos don't even bother to touch funds allocated to their local govts

➜The National Assembly determines how much is allocated to LGs from the federation account, but the State assembly decides how the funds are distributed.
Section 162(6): Each State shall maintain a special account to be called 'State Joint Local Government Account' into which shall be paid all allocations to the local government councils of the State from the Federation Account and from the Government of the State.
This is the specific premise on which Anambra lawmakers passed the recent law. It is constitutional.
➜Other sections of the constitution give direct or indirect control or influence over LGs to the state, like Section 4(7), Section 8(3)-(6), and Fourth Schedule (the states have to make laws to enable LGs carry out their responsibilities)
The money deposited into the account is marked for LG use, is it not? If the state wishes to have LGs pay taxes on the use of State infrastructure, that is an entirely different thing. But for the state to dip its hands into money allocated for LGs, that is stealing and last I checked, stealing is a crime in Nigeria. So, in this, Anambra is stealing money from its LGs. undecided

2. Look, much of what goes on in Nigeria violates the Nigerian Constitution. We all know this and we all pretend that somehow it is acceptable to continue with this gross misconduct, allowing the problem to continue to balloon. So, as long as the Supreme Law of the land is not held sacrosanct by any agency in that country, including its own people, nothing can go right. undecided

It's because we can see the big picture and not narrow minded chauvinistic ideologues.....tinubu is doing the things he promised in his campaigns,he is definitely walking the talk that's why we voted for him.

This particular LG autonomy would be a game changer, if LGs in Lagos they can be further enabled, development would come faster to the grass roots.....roads, education,health care, security that are within the purview of those LG.

Like you all saw the big picture during the Buhari scams including the Nigerian Air Scam, and the many money-sharing schemes of those years, all of which we now know were fraudulent exercises? You people are not just worth engaging is all. πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

We should then continue to be hopeless about our country and scourge for bad news all the time to get an erection like you always do.....that was Buhari,this is tinubu,we know the difference if you don't.

For every effort you put in your work every day,it's bourne out of hope to reap the rewards as appropriate......hope begets believe and nations have survived today with the hope that their existence and rights would be guaranteed by the state......it's one of the creeds the US was founded upon ....you can be as narcissistic as you want.....we know whom we voted for and why and we also know magic can't happen overnight but we could start with these little steps.

It’s a way to create jobs. Especially local ones with local auditors. While ensuring transparency.

So all corruption and budget padding since 19gbirigidi, they had invented auditors since or na North Korea auditors dey audit those books? grin cheesy

They have not audited Ajaokuta steel company or those moribund refineries since, ba?

Just focus on the local bolded. More Local Food.

Like OSHO Baba said. Each LGA will now have one local billionaire (LGA chairman) instead of one Billionaire (the Governor).

It's a bit more sharing of food.

Make nr dey fool ourselves.
