The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) says the Supreme Court’s decision to grant financial autonomy to local governments will rejuvenate grassroots governance.
Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of NLC, expressed this sentiment in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
Commenting on the Supreme Court’s ruling, Ajaero described the decision as both “courageous and transformative.”
“The judgement is significant in restoring democratic principles and fostering national progress.It is a crucial step towards revitalising grassroots governance, which has been stifled for too long.
“The supreme court through this landmark judgement has not only restored our democracy, but also peoples hope in democracy,” he said.
The labour leader commended the attorney general of the federation who went through the whole legal process.
“We urge that all necessary measures be taken so that this judgement is not sabotaged at the implementation stage,” he said.
