The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to extend the anti-graft probe to the management of local government joint accounts in the 36 states of the federation.
The call is contained in a statement issued by the President of the union, Mr Ibrahim Khaleel in Kano on Tuesday.

The statement quoted Khaleel as saying “the anti-corruption war cannot be complete without a searchlight on the management of the local government joint account system in the country.

“In the area of corruption, a lot of breakthrough are being recorded as some culprits are being brought to book.

“I, therefore, call on President Muhammadu Buhari to extend the fight on anti-graft to the management of states and local government joint accounts across the 36 states of the federation.

The Union boss also commended the Federal Government “for the concerted efforts to tame insurgency in the country.’’ (NAN)

Local Government in Nigeria is a mere appendages of State Governors.

Did we all suddenly realize how bad corruption is. So, if Buhari cannot probe from 1914, he should now probe every household.

Why can't you guys get your members to collate evidence and petition the EFCC. You lot can pay lawyers and take people to court - you have locus standi. Leave Baba alone to focus his small energy on squeezing the big 'goats' to vomit our 'yams'.

Local government system is dead and non functional in Nigeria. Pls PMB, NASS and the judiciary should help to revive this once powerful arm of government for the sake of grassroot growth and development.
