President Bola Tinubu promised All Progressives Congress governors that local governments will receive their direct allocations soon, affirming commitment to the Supreme Court's July 2024 ruling on fiscal autonomy.
Speaking at the APC National Caucus meeting in Abuja, Tinubu emphasized resolving implementation hitches, stating "LG autonomy? We'll give them their money," amid debates over state deductions from FAAC disbursements.
The assurance follows defections like Plateau's Mutfwang to APC, aiming to streamline funding for grassroots development while curbing governors' control over council resources nationwide.
