The National Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE , Osun chapter, said it declared a fast to ensure a favourable judgment of the Supreme Court on Local Government financial autonomy. The Osun State NULGE Chairman, Dr Kehinde Ogungbangbe, said this in an interview with NAN on Thursday in Osogbo. Ogungbangbe commended the apex court for its judgment granting financial autonomy to the 774 local government councils in the country.
“Osun has been in support of local government autonomy earlier before now, and I know there cannot be any obstacle in making it a reality,” Ogungbangbe said. NAN recalls that the Federal Government approached the Supreme Court seeking to compel governors of the 36 states of the federation to grant full financial autonomy to local governments.
