  • He advised local government chairmen to channel their resources to critical sectors and essential projects like roads, hospitals, and other public services

Edo North senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has thrown his weight behind the financial autonomy of local governments in Nigeria.

Recall that the Supreme Court had on July 11, 2024, upheld the financial autonomy of local governments.

Reacting to the judgment, Oshiomhole noted that autonomy for the local government areas would ensure that people at the grassroots enjoy the dividends of democracy.

The former Edo governor spoke at a forum on local government autonomy organized by the House of Representatives on Monday.

Oshiomhole also underscored the importance of character in governance and accountability.

He advised local government chairmen to channel their resources to critical sectors and essential projects like roads, hospitals, and other public services.

On a lighter note, Oshiomhole remarked, “It’s better to have 774 local government chairmen who are thieves than one big thief,” adding that with the autonomy, every local government in Nigeria will produce one or two billionaires, rather than having just one billionaire in the entire state.
