The Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Abia State, Hon. Uluocha Chimex of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), has commended the Supreme Court for its landmark ruling upholding the financial autonomy of Local Government Areas (LGAs). This decision is seen as a significant step in strengthening democracy and encouraging grassroots politics.
By affirming the constitutionality of the financial independence of LGAs, the Supreme Court has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to the rule of law and the principles of federalism. This ruling is expected to have a profound impact on the development of local communities, empowering them to manage their resources effectively and deliver essential services to their constituents.
“The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the financial autonomy of LGAs is a bold and commendable move that underscores the importance of true federalism. This ruling will bring governance closer to the people and enable local governments to function more effectively,” stated Hon. Uluocha Chimex.
IPAC applauds the Supreme Court for its courage and wisdom in making this ruling. The council believes that this decision will deepen democracy in Nigeria and ensure that local governments can operate independently, thus fostering development at the grassroots level.
“We believe this decision will further deepen our democracy and bring governance closer to the people,” Chimex added.
