The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE, has fingered state Governors for perpetrating illegality to cripple local government administration across the country thereby resulting in security and socio-economic challenges facing the masses.
The National President of the Union, Comrade Olatunji Ambali, gave this indication in Akure, the Ondo state capital while speaking with Journalists.
The NULGE National President flanked by State Presidents from the Southwest zone, said the root of insecurity and other predicaments bedeviling the country could be traced to the mismanagement of the local government system over the years by many state governors.
While calling for local government autonomy, Comrade Ambali who was in Akure for social event, urged the National Assembly and state houses of assembly to grant same in the ongoing constitution review.
The National President charged local government chairmen nationwide under ALGON, to have the courage to challenge in court illegal collection of motor park and signage fees by the state governments.
Comrade Ambali advocated scrapping of 36 States if it is compulsory to have just two tiers of government under a federal system of government, insisting that local governments are more relevant to the masses than states.
