The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) is urging Nigerian governors to conduct local government elections without delay. This call to action is driven by the need to establish democratic governance at the grassroots level and ensure accountability in local government administration.
The CDHR's urging comes in the wake of a landmark Supreme Court judgment that grants financial autonomy to local governments, mandating direct payment of funds to their accounts. This judgment is a significant step forward in ensuring that local governments have the resources they need to effectively serve their communities.
By conducting elections promptly, governors can ensure compliance with the judgment and pave the way for transparent and effective governance at the local level. The CDHR is advocating for the immediate conduct of local government elections to ensure that the benefits of this judgment are realized by the people.
