Governor's are just useless in Nigeria. The collect revenue give dem peanuts and still blame chairmen for lack of development

Why would you prevent their autonomy?

Thieves

Foolishbuhari:
Very good!
These governors are the definition of corruption and hypocrisy.
You want to control everything but you don't want buhari to chose his successor. Just as one Iragbiji politician who will chop a very brutal breakfast next week

The breakfast will be served in big bowl

Damidave1124:
They will still find a way to collect the money from local government chairmen. Because most of them were singlehandedly picked by the governor.

With time that will change since in due time LGA chairmen will soon discover that they have the joker card.

If only Nigerian knew there real enemy of democracy

dontbothermuch:


In as much as the civil servants are paid their full salary, I have no problem with the joint account. What if the local government chairmen might be more than corrupt.

There is check and balancing bro.... Democracy will take its cause

It's long overdue.
It is unfortunate that Local government elections are not conducted in some States in Nigeria, rather the sitting Governors use this democratically-designated post to settle their supporters.

Good.

The states governments are too greedy

chiefolododo:
governors are the worst enemies of Nigeria, past and present

Even future ones if nothing is done to correct the system

Most Governors should be @ best Local Government Chairmen.

These governors are selfish and greedy...they want to be in control of local government money and loot some of the money... that is why there is no much development in the rural areas, villages, communities because of lack of local government autonomy

otipoju:
Too much power for governors.

If money goes directly to the Local Government...government moves closer to the grassroots and citizens can feel the impact of government more.

... and the bad thing about it is the local government chairmen are not complaining and protesting and agitating for local government autonomy from the state governors

Phaantom22:
Meanwhile in akwaibom the moronic local government chairmen protested in favor of the State governor (udom emmanuel) claiming that they don't need financial autonomy in local governments. No be juju be that?

bloody idiots!do they have a mind of their own

Good step

This is why I want the FG to be in charge of allocation and not let states answer their papa name. What if the State Governors might be more corrupt?

gadgethead:


Then such LG chairman has the wrath of the governor, efcc and federal government to contend with

Gbam! You said the word outta my mouth.

If the fear is that the Local Chairman might be corrupt, then let the state have their own variant of EFCC.

Good one.

Fayemi is the number one antagonist of local government autonomy. And he wants to be president. Mtcheeew

ufotunang:

They may be lamenting privately but dare not complain publicly to the governor who put them in that position.

Greedy and evil people !

onuman:
Local government councils not receiving their federal allocations, thus, not functioning, is reason why only state capital cities are the only functioning places in most of the states.

Thieving governors collect Local government allocations, reconstruct a few roads in the state capital, that's all for the governor's tenure.
People living in the state capital praise governor for repairing the capital city roads.
Rest of the funds go into private bank accounts.

Let the local government councils have their allocations to develop their area councils.

But how long will it take for implementation to start working

I keep saying it over and over again Nigeria governors forum is the problem of this country. Very very corrupt entity...

Isn't it a pity that this case lasted 2 years?

This matter is a two way traffic and was also part of the necessity that led to NGF (governor's forum)formation;the states has not been faithful in managing the joint accounts from inception and has also handicapped the smooth development of LG but on the side of LG autonomy as experinced in 1999 era where LG chairmen ganged up to frustrate the governor's of some States by setting aside certain percentage of their monthly allocation against election year. They even went as far as contributing millions of cash as ASUSU monthly for their private pocket at the detriment of the grass root .
Lastly most of them even see themselves as Lord over the governor ie with respect to the territory the control saying the governor has no control over their domain(Especially mayors ofLg where states capitals are sited)

I salute the courage of Mr President to come up with the NFIU.

The Major problem that has bedeviled Nigerian is TOTAL DISCONNECT OF THE CITIZEN FROM GOVERNMENT. The ideal of having a govt is to cater for the needs of her people while the people submit to the social contract. Now the contract has been broken and citizens have now picked up arms calling it different names(BH, UGM etc)

The best way to connect back to the people which is grassroot is to improve or better still salvage our Local Govt from the hands of the Governors.

Ahhhhh I'm really really happy for this judgment may God almighty bless this judge for us, at least Nigeria will get hope and feel the dividend of democracy
