Following the landmark July 11 ruling by the Supreme Court which authorized direct disbursement of the federation allocations to the local government, and also affirmed the illegality of running LGAs by caretaker committees appointed by state governors, which ultimately grants financial autonomy to the local government council, the Center for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity has partnered with Agora Policy, alongside Yiaga Africa, Budgit, Premium Times and the Cable to convey dialogue on how to enhance accountability in LG resource management.
