In a landmark decision today, the Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional for state governors to control funds designated for local government administrations.

Justice Emmanuel Agim, delivering the lead judgment, emphasized that the 774 local government councils across the nation must autonomously manage their finances.

This decision marks a significant shift in governance, aiming to empower local governments to independently oversee their allocated funds and resources.
