The least that could have been expected of Soludo is to follow the letters of the law and the Constitution.

That was the least expected of him to read the Constitution.

Art 7(4)&(5), and in the last 2010 Amendment: The Fourth Schedule, enumerate the duties of the Local Government Administration, and also the eligibilities for that post of Government.



Soludo is running helter-skelter, snapping pictures and posing on what to do?


Sir, these are not demanded of you. Organise LG elections, that's all.


Their duties and importance are already enumerated in the Constitution. Read the Constitution and act appropriately.


Their frozen offices is the reason for much of the hell, hardship and backwardness in the Anambra society.


Organise LG and as the first of your duties on your Executive list. Thank you and God bless. (It shouldn't take more than 30 days or less).

We really must start holding our governors responsible for free and fair local government elections.

Honestly I think local government are just a waste of time honestly the way majority of them are structured is messed up

Imagine my local government headquarters ,sports complex is in another LGA ...if say no be say we be one people we for fight kill ourselves

It is messed up because you have not held elections to vote in competent people. I bet even you can build a sports complex in your LGA. Even a good basket ball court plus ball provided through your term will mightily make a difference.

Duties of A Local Government:

1. Markets (Construction and Supervision of old ones)
2. Overseeing Primary schools
3. All Primary Health Care Centers (Construction and Supervision)
4. Collection of Rates from working sole-proprietor businesses.
5. Waste collection
6. Construction of inner roads
7. Adult education
8. Vocational education
9. Psychiatric and rehab centers


Duties of State Government :
1. Large Scale agriculture
2. Universal Second and Tertiary education
3. Large Scale infrastructure (airport, railway, highway,...)
4. Special Medical Centers
5. Business Aglomerations (business parks, business districts, state plan)


In some countries, LG administrators (Mayors) are even more popular than the Governors. Eg: Mayor of New York City

It's messed up because I feel no attachment for me it's just too artificial ...not real

Imagine if LGA were based on ethnic nationality or tribe no matter the size

In IMO you have olru LGA, mbano ,mbaise , just like that ijebu , ijesha , just like that it would have more meaning but people just multiple LGA to get more revenue

LGA should generate revenue and pay to state , state pay to FG

My own LG is Orolu. It's main town is Ifon Osun, with surrounding villages subject to the Olufon under the same LG. No "mbano, mbaise", nor "ijebu, ijesha" for us, but still no local government elections.
