Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara Stat in his veiw against the current agitation by Nigerians for local government has stated desired autonomy will yield little fruit unless the local government system is reformed and strengthened along economic lines.
Speaking during the swearing-in of the newly appointed 16 Transition Implementation Committee (TIC) chairmen in Ilorin .today, he explain further that granting autonomy to local government with highly limited economic potential is more likely to complicate rather than resolve the challenges confronting such local government.
Ahmed therefore advocated a thorough reform of local government administration in the country in order to ensure tangible opportunities for the third-tier of government to meet its obligations to the people.
