A Kano State High Court has issued an order of perpetual injunction, preventing the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from withholding funds from the Federation Account to the 44 local governments of the state.
In a judgment on Monday, the CBN was ordered to disburse funds to the local governments.
The applicants, which include the Chairman of NULGE, Ibrahim Muhd, and others, filed a motion ex parte on November 1, seeking to restrain the respondents from withholding or delaying essential allocations for local governance in the state.
