The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has urged President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency on the local government administration to stop the overbearing posture of state governors and reduce poverty at the third level of government.
The union made this call at its National Executive Council meeting held in Abuja on Thursday, as per reporting by Nigerian Television Authority.
The group further called for the need to revive the infrastructure decay in the third tier of government.
“Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) is advocating the declaration of state of emergency on local government administration to stop the overbearing posture of state Governors, revive infrastructural decay and reduce poverty at the third tiers of government. This was part of resolutions at the National Executive Council meeting of the union in Abuja,” report says.
Recall that the Nigerian state assemblies in January rejected the proposed financial and legislative autonomy for local governments.
