Nigerian Masses Alliance for Local Government Autonomy (NALGA) has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the Supreme Court for making local governments see the light of the day. The group noted that the decision of President Tinubu to change the narrative of local governments was an indication of doggedness, absolute resolve, sincere commitment and uncommon passion for grassroots governance as a panacea for the development of the country. A statement signed by NALGA National President, Olaniyan Adewale and National General Secretary, Sodiq Sonibare, described the judgment as transformation that would herald drastic and radical change that would redirect fortunes of local governments and people at the grassroots. The body said the Supreme Court judgment would formalise administrative and financial independence of local governments from the age-long shackles of governors across the nation. It called on the National Assembly to perfect the grey area in the nation’s constitution, which still required cogent and concurrent amendment to performance of the law, in line with the Supreme Court judgment, to avoid any form of ‘shortchanging’ or circumvention of the local governments and restrict the governors by all means, against administrative interference.
