I agree with decentralisation of powers. In good old USA the Federal Government not that important in day to day life most services and rules are state and local issues. The local governments should be administration should be autonomous. The local tier of government on federal system is closest but often overlooked in importance. The projects people jump up and down over in this forum like footbridges in Lagos could just as easy be handled by local government if the had funds. They would also be more responsive to day to day issues like roads, lights. I know this section that's always flooded in Uyo every time I go their. I talked to one LG chairman in Nigeria a few years ago. He was cool guy but they way he described issue it seems his hands are tied. Examples being street lights seen to be state issue instead of local. This contrast with Mayor I met in Texas who told us about his job while lecturing class. He said most of the million dollars budget goes towards police and fire fighters along with other local issues. Last thing I noticed is there a not any transparency in state or local affairs. We moan about federal curruption bit ignore the state and local government who don't seen to publish any budgets. If we dig we'll probably be shocked what we find. 1 Like |
