The Honourable Minister of State for Defence, H.E. Dr. Bello Muhammed Matawalle MON has applauded the Supreme Court judgement on Local Government Autonomy, describing it as a significant milestone in promoting grassroots development, good governance, and democratic decentralization in Nigeria.

The Minister expressed his support for the Supreme Court’s decision to grant autonomy to local governments in the country. He applauded the seven-justice panel of the apex court in the judgment delivered by Justice Emmanuel Agim, which ruled that the 774 local government councils in the country should independently manage their own funds.

According to Matawalle, the verdict will enable Local Governments to make decisions and take actions without needing approval from State Governments adding that local governments can now manage their finances, collect revenues, and allocate resources without state government interference. “This will boost their independence and direct accountability to the electorates. They can now focus on delivering services and development projects that will lead to better governance and accountability,” he said.

Furthermore, the Minister said that henceforth, grassroot development would be enhanced by this decision.
Local governments can now prioritize projects and programs that benefit their communities, promoting grassroots development.” Equally the local Government should be able to solve some security challenges in their locality” .

“It will also reduce political interference and urbanization, State governments can no longer influence local government decisions and this will promote local autonomy,” he emphasized.

The Minister commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for providing the environment for the historic judgment that will empower local government leaders to take charge of their territories, making them more responsible and accountable.

“This will also Improve service delivery. The local governments can now focus on delivering essential services like healthcare, education, Sanitation and infrastructural development to the people without interference from State Government,” the Minister said.
