Knocks Ogun, Katsina, Anambra, others for not holding LG polls
The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees on Friday raised the alarm that about nine governors were diverting local government funds, in violation of the guideline issued by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit in May 2019.
The union said the actions of the governors were depriving the people of the benefits that they should ordinarily have access to, as it threatened to shut down the 774 councils in the country if their demands were not met within 30 days.
The union also called on the President Muhammadu Buhari to sign an executive order preventing any state that failed to conduct LG poll from accessing local government allocations.
