There's Nowhere in the Constitution that Gives States Authorisation to Draw LGA Funds - Oshoma

The Supreme Court's rule on local government's financial autonomy is a step in the right direction. However we must amend section 197 to ensure that election into the local government is conducted by a body different from the state electoral body

The apex court is gradually turning into a court of rulings for academic purpose

Any state governor who fails to conduct elections or go contrary to laws against LNG should not receive local government findings and state allocation.

[@delkerethos5113]

What is the basis of creating a local govt? Since the LG alocation is to be shared to the 774 of them by Federal Govt, then it will be important that the States should have equal numbers of local govt to enable equal opportunities

[@usmanyusuf-hw5gr]

A landmark ruling 👍

The only way to stop this quarrel, is to stop going to Abuja to share money. That's, true federalism. All states should feed on what they have. In fact, I don't know who started the FAAC thing.
