My concerns over local government autonomy – Gov Eno

Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has expressed mixed reactions over the Supreme Court judgment granting financial autonomy to local governments in the country.

Mr Eno was reacting to the judgment for the first time after returning to the state from a trip to Europe.

In its judgment on Thursday, Nigeria’s highest court restrained local council run by unelected officials from receiving funds from the federated account.
