Local Government Financial Autonomy: The Right Step in the Right Direction-Fadojoe

Local Government Financial Autonomy: The Right Step in the Right Direction
-Fadojoe

The leader of Rescue Movement for New Nigeria aka Rescue The Vulnerable Initiative and a Presidential Aspirant under Labour Party, Comrade Faduri Oluwadare Joseph popularly called Fadojoe, has hailed both the Judiciary and the Executive on the declaration on the affirmation of local governments’ financial autonomy and the declaration caretaker committees as illegal. 

Describing it as "the right step in the right direction", Fadojoe asserts that "it is long overdue" adding that it will not only make the local government independence, but it will also help "in bringing noticable and far reaching development to the people as the local government is the tier of the government closest  to the people and that can directly best impact the masses.

"We give this to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led government. As I have said whenever this administration makes positive impact we will not hesitate to give kudos. Our prayers and agitation is towards a better Nigeria and we will not only commend, but will fully support any initiative, policy or reform that will help make Nigeria great again and a pride among the Comity of Nations

"It's an undisputable fact, that since the first republic, local governments have been rendered almost crippled and a mere manipulative political tools in the hand of some state governors seize their federal allocations and only release funds to them piecemeal to barely keep them going,' he concluded.

At the heart of this systemic failure lies a silent crisis—the grossly neglected legal department of the Nigeria Police Force. Understaffed, underfunded, and overwhelmed, this vital arm of law enforcement is struggling to prosecute crimes, defend civil suits, or even appear in court. The consequences are grave: lost cases, emboldened criminals, and a justice system that increasingly serves the powerful while frustrating victims and ordinary citizens. This is not just a capacity problem; it threatens public safety, ...
