Buni Breaks Silence over LG Autonomy | Ekohotblog
Eko Hot Blog reports that Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni said he is not opposed to the idea on local government autonomy across the country.
Buni disclosed this after casting his vote in the local government election at his polling unit in Buni Gari on Saturday.
According to him, his administration’s collaborative approach to local government councils reflects how much he complements their efforts.
“In 2019, I envisioned granting autonomy to local government councils but unfortunately six out of 17 LGs struggled to pay salaries.
“Our joint local government account initiative aims to support the LGs and work together with the state government,” he explained.
The governor also expressed optimism about the future of local government autonomy in Nigeria.
“Our democracy is growing and this issue will be addressed seamlessly and democratically without hitches,” Buni said.
