The Association of Local Government of Nigeria, ALGON, has pledged cordial working relationship between council chairmen and the governors. The National President of ALGON, Alhaji Aminu Muazu-Maifata, made the promise during a news conference on Monday in Lafia, Nasarawa state.
He said a cordial relationship would ensure proper developments at the grassroots. The ALGON leader commended the Supreme Court for the landmark judgment granting financial autonomy to local government councils in the country. Muazu-Maifata, who is also the Chairman of Lafia Local Government Area of Nasarawa State and ALGON chairman in the state, expressed joy over the judgement of the apex court.
“We know that there are so many expectations from us under the new arrangement where our funds will come directly from the Federal Government. “Expectations will come from our people, our governors, and even the president who is passionate about the development of the rural areas. “So, we are very much aware of all these expectations and by the grace of God the country will be better in the nearest future,” he added.
