The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal has said there is no going back on National Assembly’s resolve for constitutional reform aimed at granting autonomy to the local government administration in the country.

The Speaker made this declaration on Tuesday in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, at the sixth quadrennial national delegates’ conference of the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE).

He lamented that the absence of autonomy for local governments had continued to stretch service conditions and stifled growth at the grassroots, promising that when granted autonomy local government funds would no longer be appropriated by state governments.

“There shall be in Nigeria a full-fledged third tier of government with complete complement of structures including the legislative council who shall henceforth appropriate local government funds,” he stated.
