Implementation will be the problem

Don't always be pessimistic. We will get it right. People are closer to their local government and will now hold them accountable. All the shenanigans by local government chairmen who don't even live in the council will stop

muykem:
Great development. Tinubu will get it right gradually.

Shut up. It wasn't Tinubu's idea neither was he the one that went to court.

Local govt. elections about to get more bloody

Is this not against the constitution?

(5) The amount standing to the credit of Local Government Councils in the Federation Account shall also be allocated to the State for the benefit of their Local Government Councils on such terms and in such manner as may be prescribed by the National Assembly.

(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.

(7) Each State shall pay to Local Government Councils in its area of jurisdiction such proportion of its total revenue on such terms and in such manner as may be prescribed by the National Assembly.

Fubara how far? How market?

Nice one

Na TINUBU o !

No time to check time .... Nigeria on the move .

If you bliv , you go achieve .

This is a good one

Wow.
This is a landmark judgement.
We can now out a face and name to the Chairman of these various local governments and hold them accountable. Its time to be less fixated on the FG and SG. Lets ensure that the grassroot grts the benefit of democracy.
The Local Governments should organise various social welfare programmes such as Food bank, and Old people homes.
Kudos Lateef Fagbemi SAN. You really do this one.

What of Inec conducting LGC elections?

Shut up, na your idea. Oponu.

Wait ooo..


I want somebody to put me through on what the Constitution is trying to say in Section:162- Sub-Sections; 5, 6, 7, & 8.

It's seeming somehow contradictory to this judgement..

Because I am not understanding anything here again.

Ok.
Just dey play.
You'll now know that your LG chairmen are more looters than your governors.

NinjaMetahuman:
Great news


Court should also allow FG to pay FAAC directly to local government instead of state governments.

From the ruling, funds will be paid directly to LGA account henceforth

PointZerom:


Shut up. It wasn't Tinubu's idea neither was he the one that went to court.

The case was filed by HIS GOVERNMENT..

SO GIVE IT TO HIM..

HE TRIED ON THIS ONE.

Ikumapkayi:

Ewu Zambia.

Mumu go and look for work. Fubara is conducting elections in October

Bobby4090:
Fubara how far? How market?

Ebubu2:
What of LGA elections conducted by INEC ?

LGA elections are not conducted by INEC

CilicMarin:


How?

I co-ask
Cause FG will be paying directly to the LG
So is implementation going to be an issue

Is like Wike hand dey inside

Bye bye to caretaker Local Government used by Governors to defraud the people.

If Tinubu wish , he could influence the judgement ....

So maybe na you suppose shut up here

Enemy of the state .

PointZerom:


Shut up. It wasn't Tinubu's idea neither was he the one that went to court.

Ebubu2:

The FG won't need to force any SG to abide by the law and judgement from the SC.
As long as there is no duly elected LG council chairmen and councilors then LG will not get their allocation from the federation account.
The main judgment has now empowered the FG to hold back the LG funds where there is no duly elected council members.

BluntCrazeMan:
The case was filed by HIS GOVERNMENT..

SO GIVE IT TO HIM..

HE TRIED ON THIS ONE.

Shut up. His government didn't file any shishi.

Fubara one leg out of office

Now we can hold local government chairmen accountable for inner city roads instead of watching them become absolutely useless..

NinjaMetahuman:
Great news
