The Northern Elders Forum , on Friday, expressed satisfaction with the recent Supreme Court judgement that grants financial autonomy to the 774 Local Government Areas .
He said: “This bold move, which marks a departure from the past practices of centralizing power and resources in the hands of respective state governments, holds great promise for empowering local governments to take charge of their own affairs and address the pressing needs of their communities.” “With control over their finances, local governments will be able to prioritize and fund projects that directly impact the lives of their people. For instance, they can invest in building new schools, improving healthcare facilities, or upgrading roads and transportation networks to enhance connectivity and access to markets.”
