When did the local government become independent to present their own budget?

Local governments are mere footstool of state governors.

it was supposed to be the other way round ,each unit has and should enjoy this benefits

Imustreturn:
4 billion for LGA. Eweeeee

Our national cake to enter one chance...

You need to see manzions these local govt chairmen are erecting all over northern Nigeria.
There's one in yahoo Bellos hometown if you see him house for total you go get goosebumps first it's nothing less than 100m and according to locals there's even more money stacked inside ( he doesn't live there) but the security lasan no be here

"The Chairman of Kaduna North Local Government Counci, Mukhtar Baloni has revived the local government legislative system and presented N4.7bn 2022 budget to the council"

This annual budget of N4.7 billion is to small to move anyone out of poverty.
And here is why:
Kaduna North local government population is 364,575 (per 2021 census ).
Now, N4.7 billion is $11, 280, 000 ( US dollar per Naira is .0024 as of today.
What this means is that each citizen of Kaduna north local government will be living on $31 per year--translating into $2.58 per month.
With $2.58 per month, you cannot buy clothes, pay rent, send kids to school, take family out on vacation.

Consider this: Nigeria imports everything and export nothing except crude oil. Prices of imported items are too high for anyone to survive on $2.58 per month.

No wonder why there are killings and kidnapping going all over the country.
May God help us!

You are living under a stone, local government has been presenting budget for years. They have their own legislators

michlins:
Is this not duplicating of duties of the state legislators?

Can our budget handle local government legislative branch

LG legislators are paid from d LG purse not state or fed. State budget has no business with LG budget.

I'm certain this should be the norm according to every constitution that has ever existed in Nigeria. The local government is the primary level of recognized governance in Nigeria, to which all the wards submit, they have constitutional responsibilities which both federal and state governments have usurped.

For instance marriage, divorce, communal dispute, customary laws, kingship and chieftaincy is under LGAs according to our constitution but we know that's not the case in reality

mrvitalis:
Local governments are absolutely not needed in Nigeria they only increase recurent expenditure nothing more

But you keep saying you want to be like America and other saner climes, yet you failed to realize local governments is where most elements of citizen interaction with governance occurs.

Phils:
IGR of N1.4 Billion.

Shuo... Federal government will collect revenue; State government will collect; where LG wan collect that amount.

Kaduna North businesses and residents will sweat.

They have been collecting but not putting it into proper use

If u think So, den state shouldn't present budgets since federal government already did that. We are supposed to be running 3 tiers of govt. But state govs have relegated Local govt. To the ground

The taxes each government is to collect is clearly spelt out in the constitution.

According to the constitution, the state assembly is to function as the local government assembly for all local government in the state. This is to reduce the cost of governance. Also to ensure people with relevant experience do the job.
In fact, councilors were supposed to be the assembly in Local governments. However, it was observed that people elected councilors don't have the necessary experience to perform legislative work satisfactorily. That was why the state assembly was made to perform those functions.
So, if we go back to each Local government having their legislative assembly, imagine the cost. And what will they do after passing the budget? Nothing more. Even the state assembly, how many laws do they make in a year? Do they perform any oversight function on state governors?

FarahAideed:


Under the constitution they are autonomous

Useless constitution,,the state ruling party always win local elections

Wahala be like bicycle... God bless Nigeria..

oga mi eh. Here are things we need to change;

We don't need bicameral legislature.

We don't need permanent legislators. They should be made to meet only when there's need for them.

About 60% of our budget goes to loan servicing and recurrent expenses. It's not supposed to happen like that.

How large is the states that the governors can't take care of the local governments. Some of the things we do is reserved for governments that are rich. We're not rich

Thanks to Buhari's administration
