The Nigerian federal government has disclosed that it has not yet started distributing monthly funding to the nation’s local government units.
Wale Edun, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, revealed the information on Thursday. He attributed the delay to a few “practical impediments.”
Weeks after the Supreme Court handed down a historic ruling on the distribution of monthly allocations directly to local governments when it ruled on local government autonomy, Edun revealed the information on Thursday during a quarterly media briefing on current economic activities in the nation.
