A couple of hours ago, I read on vanguard where Hon Tambuwal said there's no going back on LG autonomy. I echo his sentiments.

The LG which was created in order to bring government closer to the people, has been hijacked by our state governors, thereby depriving the people the benefits that they should derive thereby.

In your opinion, should NASS grant autonomy to our LG?

Your opinion and the accompanying reasons will be highly appreciated.

Shalom.

Giving LG full authonomy will put more money in the hand of tinubu

Giving LG full authonomy will put more money in the disposal of tinubu and less at the disposal of fashola

Yes. More power to more people, less power to a few, it would also increase people participation in politics. But it would not work at the initial stage, but with time it would start growing as a better form of government.

They should not be given autonomy. They are useless and more corrupt than the other tiers of government. I am talking about the local government in my area

LGA autonomy is not the problem, CURRUPTION is.

Kick curruption out and see Nigeria blossom

Corruption is a general problem we're facing as a people. And taking away some powers from the state governors is a way of reducing corruption.

Explain.

so much problem this days.
fight corruption first

true federalism requires autonomy for local councils and it allows for active participation of the grassroots in politics. The APC refused local govt autonomy in the last National conference.

LG autonomy is long overdue. We need government at the grassroots.

Please, look at the bigger picture. Your opinion is carried, though.

Try to examine the way LGAs operate. You'll find they are also shamelessly currupt.

Autonomy for LGAs is good but it will make no difference with the present level of curruption in Nigeria.

Ok. I'll do some more work on the modus operandi of the LG system.
