LG AUTONOMY: ANAMBRA DENIES DISOBEYING SUPREME COURT RULING. (PHOTO).


 LG autonomy: Anambra denies disobeying S’Court ruling


The Anambra State Government has insisted that it is not bypassing the Supreme Court judgment that granted autonomy to local governments in the country.


According to the state government, the Anambra Local Government Administration Law, enacted after the apex court verdict, was not a step to circumvent the LG autonomy.


The government’s position came after the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, issued warning to state governors bypassing the Supreme Court judgment, with a threat to seek a contempt of court suit if the defiance continues.


After the Supreme Court’s verdict, Anambra State House of Assembly passed the Local Government Administration Bill 2024 on Tuesday, October 8, 2024.


Section 13(1) of the bill stipulates that the state shall maintain a “State Joint Local Government Account,” into which all federal allocations to LGAs must be deposited.


Section 14(3) further mandates that each LG must, within two working days of receiving their allocations from the Federation Account, remit a state-determined percentage to the consolidated account. This requirement applies even if the allocations are received directly from the Federation Account.


Also, Section 14(4) outlines that if the state receives the LGA allocation on their behalf, it must deduct the specified percentage before disbursing the remaining funds to the LGA.


However, the Commissioner for Information in the state, Law Mefor, stated that the law was not an act of bypassing the Supreme Court judgment.


According to Mefor, the Constitution empowers state assemblies to make laws for the administration of local government.
