The Secretary to the Lagos State Government, SSG, Tunji Bello has expressed displeasure of the state government on the Federal Government’s directive on local government’s financial autonomy and direct allocation.
Usman was speaking on the new directive on council allocations and its implication for universal healthcare delivery. “Constitutionally, states should be allowed to run their councils because it’s not the way councils are being run in Kano they will be run in Lagos or Kwara State. Even, the way Mushin LGA will get run in Lagos is not the way Surulere or Apapa council will be run because they run on different terrain. States should be allowed to determine their councils’ funds
“Even the issue of policing should be managed by the states. And if the issue of insecurity in the country must be quickly and effectively tackled, the states must take off with state policing.
