Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday, forwarded the bill for the creation of 19 local government development areas to the state House of Assembly for legislative consideration.
He said that the Committee on Creation of LCDAs in Ekiti State inaugurated by Fayemi in November 2020, “consulted extensively over a five-month period and submitted a comprehensive report that took into consideration several issues including population of each of the proposed LCDA, availability of personnel, physical structure of proposed headquarters and broadly economic viability of the proposed LCDAs” among others.
The AG said, “The State Executive Council further deliberated extensively on the proposals and resolved that the creation of the new LCDAs is in response to the agitations of the communities affected and that continuing the efficient management of state resources by the Fayemi administration will ensure that the LCDAs are appropriately funded”.
Fapohunda said that the Judiciary Bill is “for a law to provide for the management of funds of the Ekiti State Judiciary and the repeal of the Ekiti State Fiscal Autonomy for the Judicial Arm of Government Law, No 8 of 2008 and for other related matters. “In broad terms, the purpose of this bill is to grant Ekiti State Judiciary the power to manage its capital and recurrent expenditure in accordance with the provision of Sections 6-, 81, 121 and Item 21” of the constitution and other relevant laws.
The AG said, “The bill further affirms the severally stated commitment of the Fayemi administration to an independent judiciary that is professional, effective, and responsive to the needs of all users including where appropriate, the provision of informal dispute resolution mechanisms”.
