A high court in Akure, the capital of Ondo state, has annulled the establishment of 33 additional local council development areas (LCDAs) in the state.
Eko Hot Blog reports that Adegboyega Adebusoye, delivered the ruling on Thursday.
The Ondo state house of assembly passed the bill for the creation of the 33 additional councils on August 15, 2023, after it scaled a third reading.
In September 2023, Rotimi Akeredolu, former Ondo state governor, signed the bill a day after his return from a three-month medical leave.
The 33 LCDAs were to co-exist with the 18 LGAs, bringing the total number of local councils in the state to 51.
