The agitation for local government autonomy has raged on for long. In your view do you think the call has merits?
If it comes into force, grassroots will witness tremendous developments in the area of infrastructures and human capital developments and the whole country would be the better for it. If am right, about eight state assemblies including Ogun, Kwara and Bayelsa have voted for it while Imo and Edo are among those that rejected it. The 8th Lagos assembly that i know, there is no issue that is an elephant in the house. Am sure at the appropriate time, the House will endorse it.
Don’t you think the divergent views among critical stakeholders in local government administration like the NUT, ALGON, and NULGE is undermining the push for the autonomy? Here in Agege, under my watch, the council has been doing quite a lot of interventions in public primary schools in our locality in terms of infrastructural developments, teachers’ training and welfare and supporting pupils with educational materials, desks and chairs. Recently, we distributed school uniforms to pupils of twenty-six public primary schools and offered free bus service to pupils of public primary schools.
How would react to suggestion that local governments’ administrators lack the requisite skills to drive grassroots development?
