bigpicture001:
Supreme court is not the writer of the constitution...it only interpret it...so this is not a lawful judgment....cuz 99' constitution directs that funds for LG must pass through state account...


Another tinubu forced judgment!!!!!!

So how many state governors do give the LG chairman their complete money? Some of the governors don't even hold a LG election but still dip their hands into LG funds.

Governors witholding LG funds is unconstitutional, the supreme court gave a great judgement

Teymanhenry:
When will they implement this?

This month. LGAs will start getting their allocation from the FG this month

SmartPolician:
Whether LG councils will have autonomy or not depends on state governors because the governors always rig them into office. This is the view of Professor Chidi Odinkalu, which is by far the most intelligent reaction I have seen on this SC judgment.

What are you trying to say?

He held an election because the court forced him to do so. He was rounding up his second term when he held a LG election

Sapasenator:
Dey play, LG chairman wey go live outside the community for gated estate inside VGC. Most will come to the community once in 6 months.

Stop speaking on most of them behalf when they haven't being giving a chance.

Teymanhenry:
If this LGA autonomy is implemented. It's a massive win for democracy. LGA chairmen are closer to the masses than the governors and hence will be easily held accountable. Elections will be more competitive. I'm assuming for sum LGA elections will be more important than Governorship elections

"If" ke? They will start getting their allocation directly from this month.

Nice2023:
If u are the most senior and a responsible fellow,u will win this case and the buyer would definitely want to have some settlements with u.

Only if the family has not tagged u as a prodigal son and one who is into drugs.

If you fully pay for a property and you receive all the necessary documents from the family... And someone later came that he is part of the family but was not carried along in the deal... What will you do in that position?

Stephaniegold:
Pls help us fixed Oreyo to Cemetery road....the road is even worst than how it used to be...
Amnode started this project 4 years......sanwo also used another 4 years and he is also into another 2 years very soon...and that will amount to 10 years in fixing the road that is less than 10 kilometers.....spit on sanwo

This is one of the reason I hate Nigerian government officials. How can they be building a 10km road for more than 9 years... It's crazy

olisaEze:
Don’t these people bother to research before posting their propaganda?? After the return to democracy, no Gov bothered with LGA elections till Peter Obi did at the twilight of his administration in early 2014. It appears Reno just quotes headlines because he expects the average Nigerian not to comprehend news beyond that! The fool just foolishly shot himself in the foot, because no be 'im pay for the shoe!

You have learn how to lie from Gbajue himself

How can you boldly claim no governor held a LG election before the arrival of Obi... Dem don use lie swear for you Obidients?

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has rolled out touch sanctions against Discos that commit infractions capable of inflicting pain on consumers.

Among other things, NERC said it would reduce five per cent of the administrative, and operational expenditure of any electricity distribution company that failed to offtake at least 95 per cent of the total energy allocated to it for distribution.

This was contained in the commission’s Order on Performance Monitoring Framework for all the DisCos.

According to the order, DisCos would now be assessed on seven key performance indicators -energy off-take relative to partial contracted capacity; revenue recovery rate; compliance with reporting of a uniform system of accounts; compliance with API feeder streaming; compliance with the order on capping of estimated bills; compliance with the implementation of forum decisions; and compliance with service standards for the resolution of complaints received through the NERC contact centre and NERC headquarters.

keep watching

The order stipulated that failure to off-take up to 95 per cent of available nominations in any month will attract issuance of a rectification directive.

But the failure of any DisCo to off-take up to 95 per cent of available nominations in two of the three months in any quarter will attract a downward adjustment of DisCos guaranteed Admin OpEx by 5 per cent for the next quarter.

Also, for any instance of a customer overbilled, 10 per cent of the naira value of the total over-billing for the period will be deducted from the DisCo’s annual Admin OpEx allowance during the next tariff review, and credit adjustment for overbilled customers.


“If the energy overbilled is greater than 20 per cent of the allowed cap or the number of customers overbilled represent is greater than 20 per cent of unmetered customer base, the Commission may take other enforcement actions including the withdrawal of the KYL of the Head of Billing or the officer responsible for the billing function in the utility.

For non-compliance to the resolution of complaints through the NERC contact centre or headquarters after the expiration of timelines in the CPR, the DisCo would be made to pay fines within the first month -billing: N10,000 per day; disconnection: N2,000/day; interruption: N2,000/day; metering: N1,000/day; delay in connection: N1,000/day; Voltage: N1,000/day.

After two months of noncompliance to the consumer complaints resolutions, the order stated that “The commission may take other enforcement actions including the withdrawal of the KYL of the head of customer service or the officer responsible for resolving customer complaints in the utility.”

“The NERC order stated that during the effective period of Order No. NERC/320/2022, the commission undertook periodic evaluation of the performance of the DisCos vis-à-vis the set targets and regulatory interventions were taken in line with the provisions of the order and extant rules of the commission.”

The commission noted that the DisCo’s inability to fully comply with all the KPIs contained in Order No. NERC/320/2022 has led to the failure of the distribution companies to meet their operational obligations, widespread customer dissatisfaction, undermined their ability to uphold market discipline and imperilled the long-term financial sustainability of the utilities

“The imposition of the consequential regulatory interventions specified in this Order shall not be construed as a limitation or foreclosure of the power of the commission to impose any other enforcement sanction under the Electricity Act or any other regulatory instrument.

“This Order is issued without prejudice to the existing obligations and commitment of DisCos as provided in executed contracts and extant rules in the NESI,” said the order signed by the NERC Chairman, Sanusi Garba, and dated July 5, 2024.

You guys are stressing yourself over a futile effort

Just like Anioma state, this state won't be created

President Bola Tinubu has lauded the Supreme Court’s judgment affirming the constitutional rights of local governments, emphasizing its critical role in advancing effective governance at the grassroots level.

In a statement released on Thursday, Tinubu highlighted the importance of the judgment, describing it as a reaffirmation of the Constitution.

The statement was signed by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.

He noted that ineffective local government administration has been a significant obstacle to national progress, with governance at the grassroots level nearly non-existent.

“The Renewed Hope Agenda is about the people of this country, at all levels, irrespective of faith, tribe, gender, political affiliation, or any other artificial line they say exists between us.

“This country belongs to all of us. By virtue of this judgment, our people – especially the poor – will be able to hold their local leaders to account for their actions and inactions. What is sent to local government accounts will be known, and services must now be provided without excuses,” Tinubu said

He emphasised that the onus is now on local council leaders to deliver people-oriented services, ensuring that Nigerians at the grassroots feel the impact of governance.

He also expressed confidence that the judgment would allow local officials elected by the people to control local resources transparently and effectively.


“My administration instituted this suit because of our unwavering belief that our people must have relief and today’s judgment will ensure that it will be only those local officials elected by the people that will control the resources of the people,

“This judgment stands as a resounding affirmation that we can use legitimate means of redress to restructure our country and restructure our economy to make Nigeria a better place to live in and a fairer society for all of our people,” the President stated

Tinubu pointed out that the provision of essential amenities and public goods has been hampered due to the weakening of local governments.

He commended the Supreme Court for upholding the constitutional rights of local governments, particularly regarding financial autonomy.

He further described the decision as historic and a significant step towards strengthening Nigeria’s federal structure for national development.

Tinubu also praised the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), for his diligent and patriotic efforts in this critical legal battle.

He reiterated his administration’s commitment to protecting the principles of governance and ensuring a performance-driven system that benefits every Nigerian.

They are delusional. They come to the media to dance, but go behind to cry. They are gone - Governor Fubara mocks Nyesom Wike

They are delusional. They come to the media to dance, but go behind to cry. They are gone – Governor Fubara mocks Nyesom Wike and lawmakers supporting him

Speaking at a recent event, Fubara stated that he knows their antics.

He also disclosed that he has helped most of those fighting him now in the past. The Rivers state Governor recalled how he paid some of his current opponent’s rents and their children’s school fees before coming into power.

He also said that he wanted to help them, but they felt they are smart. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The Governor also said that they feel he’s sleeping, but he knows how to get through to them.

A chidish comment

Omooba77:
Reason for Joint Allocation JAC, so that they can divide to LCDAs......

It's either they start funding them with the small income they get from the FG or from their IGR. But I think the LCDAs should be scraped, they are doing the same job the LGAs are doing.

A good news

God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

God bless the south west and south south

God bless the north

God bless Nigeria forever

Omooba77:

flyinnizam:
there are 6 Geopolitical zones in Nigeria but as of today it seems only southwesterners are backing Tinubu. Score is 5-1. what does that tell u? Tinubu=Failure as president. he just wanted to be President as per ambition and nothing more.

There are lots of people on nairaland who claimed only Yorubas from the south west will vote for Tinubu in the presidential election.

Princedapace:
Nope, we want a decentralized system of govt like it is done in the US and UK. Let states and local govt manage their resources and have control over greater things such as electricity, etc.

Electricity in Nigeria is not on the exclusive list. The power sector was decentralize under Buhari...Go and verify

Inspirer1:
SC also ruled that FG should withheld the funds to states that doesn't have democratically elected chairman of LGAs.

By virtue of that, such states will have to conduct elections for their LGAs.

My concern is those states that have LCDAs, what will happen to the LCDAs.

States will be funding the LCDAs

heniford2:
It will not work Sabi state governor decides when to run local government elections like in Anambra forget it,it will not work

If any governor decide not to hold an election, FG will withhold the LG funds meant for the state

States without LG chairman won't receive 1 kobo starting from this month.

Lol.. It's one to grant and it's another thing to implement.
