Some experts have called for robust mechanisms at the local government level to ensure transparency and accountability, in light of the new local government funding structure ordered by the Supreme Court.
The experts made the recommendation on Monday at the policy dialogue organised by Agora Policy, an Abuja-based think tank, in partnership with the BudgIT Foundation, Yiaga Africa, the Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity, Premium Times, and The Cable.
The dialogue, themed “Enthroning Accountability in Local Governance in Nigeria,” was held at the Shehu Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.
