The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has commended progress made by the Federal Government on the implementation of the Supreme Court judgment that granted financial autonomy to local governments in Nigeria.
The commendation was given during the association’s meeting in Abuja yesterday.
Chairman of ALGON’s Board of Trustees, Odunayo Ategbero, stated that the federal government’s implementation committee has made significant strides despite encountering challenges.
ALGON said the autonomy will address critical issues such as security, health and education at the grassroots level.
