\n

Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo has revealed that the Nigeria Governors Forum has convened an emergency meeting, to review the decision of the Supreme Court of Nigeria granting autonomy to Local Government Councils in the country.<\/p>\n

Soludo who held a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the State House on Thursday, however, praised the court decision saying it was a democratic process which should be commended by all democrats.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the ruling, he said, \u201cThat\u2019s great. I mean, the Supreme Court is Supreme because it is the final authority and I am a Democrat. I believe in the rule of law. Once the Supreme Court has spoken it has spoken. I understand, I mean, tonight, I think the Governors Forum is meeting to review this.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re yet to even\u2026 I mean, I haven\u2019t seen the document myself. I\u2019ve been extremely, very busy all through the day but I\u2019ve seen snippets of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut at a fundamental level, yes, we need resources to get down to the real grassroot and we need the people\u2019s money to work for them at all levels, whether at the federal or the state and the local government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to promote accountability. We need to promote transparency in the utilization of public resources at all levels, to be able to lift the burden of the common man\u201d.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Supreme Court of Nigeria had on Thursday, declared as unconstitutional the situation where State Governors stifle funds meant for the LGs.<\/p>\n

The feat achieved was made possible when the Federal Government dragged the state governors to court to compel them to hands-off local government administration in the country and face their tasks squarely as governors.<\/p>\n
