In order to defend the financial autonomy afforded to the tier of government, Nigerians have been accused of demanding excellent administration from elected local government officials nationwide.

When Oladele Oyelude, the Director-General of Tinubu-Shettima Youth Ambassadors, spoke on Saturday on how to accomplish good governance at the local level in Osogbo, he revealed this.

He said that by wresting authority from state governors and giving it to the chairman of the local government, the Bola Tinubu-led administration had aided grassroots residents and brought development closer to the people.

“We ought to start concentrating on promoting good governance at the local level. Nigerians should take use of the local government’s financial autonomy to make elected politicians at the highest level of government pay attention. We have to adhere to their spending plan and guarantee efficient execution.

“We must take control of the local government and make sure that every dollar given to elected officials at that level is valuable before they turn into another monster. The current administration has set the path for us,” he stated.

Additionally, he revealed that the Northern Governors’ continuous discussion of the Tax Reform law is needless, stating that the National Assembly should be given the opportunity to adequately consider it. However, he emphasised that the law, when seen holistically, may test the governors’ inventiveness.

The National Assembly’s current tax reform bill is actually intended to promote financial justice. Nonetheless, the Northern Governors’ public rage is superfluous. If a change or complete correction is required, the lawmaker would take the appropriate action. They are accountable for it, and the fuss is absolutely superfluous,” he continued.
