NULGE, ALGON urge Tinubu to enforce LG autonomy across Nigeria.

Local government associations in Nigeria are urging President Bola Tinubu to enforce autonomy for local governments, as previously requested by their counterparts in 2022. The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria and the National Union of Local Government Employees have reiterated this call.

Nigeria's Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) and National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) have urged President Bola Tinubu to enforce the autonomy of local governments across the country. The call comes after a Supreme Court ruling that instructed state governors to respect the autonomy of their local governments. In light of this, ALGON and NULGE are seeking President Tinubu's intervention to ensure compliance with the court's decision. By taking action, the organizations hope to promote greater fiscal responsibility and effective governance at the local level.
