Nigeria’s office of the Accountant General of the Federation has identified major setbacks to the implementation of the July 11, 2024 Supreme Judgement on local government councils autonomy.
According to the government agency, the two major setbacks are the failure of LGAs to submit account details, adding that identifying the LGAs that are democratically elected is a prerequisite for receiving the direct payment.
This was contained in the Federation Account Allocation Committee Technical Sub-Committee meeting, the minutes obtained at the weekend.
The meeting was chaired by AGF, Oluwatoyin Madein.
