Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, stated that the recent Supreme Court decision providing Local Governments financial autonomy is not a waste of time.
In response to suggestions that the decision might not have much of an effect unless the responsibility for holding local government elections is moved to another organization, Fagbemi stated that such concerns will be dealt with when they came up.
Since the anti-corruption agencies are mandated to supervise the distribution of funds at the local government level, the AGF ordered them to get busy.
