    RMAFC Advocates For Increased Local Government Autonomy In Nigeria

    The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has called for the complete autonomy for local government councils across the country.

    The commission said it was lending its support to Federal Government’s legal efforts to free the local governments from the control of state governments by enforcing the Constitution’s provisions.

    In a statement, RMAFC Chairman Mohammed Bello Shehu said the local governments, as the third tier of government, should operate independently of state and federal governments to ensure effective grassroots governance.

    He noted that the Nigerian Constitution recognises federal, state, and local governments as distinct tiers, each drawing funds from the Federation Account.

    Shehu criticised the dominance of state governments over local governments, saying this undermines their political, administrative, and financial independence.
