THE Federal Government’s Committee on Local Government Autonomy has finalized its report, signing off on a technical document soon to be presented to President Bola Tinubu.
The National Union of Local Government Employees President, Hakeem Ambali, confirmed this development.
The move follows the Supreme Court’s July ruling granting financial autonomy to 774 local governments, prohibiting state governors from controlling their funds.
A 10-member inter-ministerial committee was formed August 20 to implement the ruling.
