The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria has taken legal action against the Federal Government on the implementation of local government autonomy.
In a suit registered as FHC/ABJ/05/353/2025 at a Federal High Court in Abuja, ALGON is demanding the inclusion of local government councils in the Federation Account Allocation Committee.
In the suit, the association urged the court for a declaration that any attempt to disburse funds to the 774 local governments through commercial banks or other agencies, without the authorisation and approval of the local councils, would be illegal.
