In a monumental stride towards strengthening Nigeria’s democratic institutions and fostering grassroots development, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has championed the cause of financial autonomy for the 774 local governments in Nigeria.

The journey to achieving financial autonomy for local governments has been fraught with challenges.

By decentralizing financial control, local governments are now better positioned to tackle issues such as infrastructure development, healthcare, education, and social services at the grassroots level.

Hon. Kegbe’s statement further underscores the importance of this development in promoting transparency, accountability, and efficient governance.

With financial autonomy, local governments can now engage in robust planning and budgeting processes, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to meet the needs of their constituents.

The decision has been widely lauded by political analysts, civil society organizations, and citizens alike, who view it as a pivotal step towards realizing the full potential of Nigeria’s federal system.

By empowering local governments, President Tinubu has set the stage for a more inclusive and participatory democracy, where the voices of ordinary Nigerians are heard, and their aspirations met.

As the nation embarks on this new chapter, Hon. Kegbe calls on all stakeholders to support and uphold the principles of financial autonomy.

He urges local government officials to demonstrate integrity and dedication in managing their newfound financial independence, ensuring that it translates into tangible benefits for their communities.

In conclusion, Hon. Ebimobowei Messiah Kegbe’s heartfelt appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu resonates with the hopes and dreams of millions of Nigerians.
