Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has clarified that Kwara State supports autonomy for local councils. In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Rafiu Ajakaye, the governor said his trust in full autonomy for local governments is unshakable.
He explained: “It is my personal belief that each local government should manage its resources and be responsible for its obligations, including wages that are first line charges. I also believe that the state governor should not be held liable if any local government is unable to pay salaries since we do not touch a kobo of their money.
