Bauchi Ready to Fully Implement Local Government Autonomy Under New Guidelines.

Bauchi State Government says it is ready to fully implement Local Government Autonomy as ordered by the Supreme Court. The state will work towards transferring powers from the state government to local councils.

The Bauchi State Government has announced its commitment to implementing Local Government Autonomy (LGA) as mandated by a recent Supreme Court ruling. Under this new framework, the state will grant greater autonomy to its 20 local government areas, allowing them to manage their own internal affairs and make key decisions without interference from the state government. The move is seen as a significant step towards devolving power and improving governance in the state's municipalities. As part of this initiative, Secretary to the State Government Aminu Hammayo has expressed the government's readiness to work with local leaders to ensure a smooth transition and effective implementation of LGA autonomy.
