The Senate has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stop the allocation of funds to caretaker committee-led local government areas and urged him to take the lead in advocating for full autonomy for local governments in Nigeria as a matter of urgency.
This Red Chamber accused state governors of misappropriating funds allocated to local government councils in Nigeria, stating that the local government system is practically non-existent in the country.
It highlighted the challenges faced in achieving the objectives of the local government system due to limited financial resources and control over decision-making.
