The Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda, has described the financial autonomy granted to the 774 local governments by the Supreme Court as a good omen for Nigeria’s democracy.
He spoke Saturday after casting his vote at his Radda country home in Charanchi Local Government Area during the local government election held in the state.
He said financial autonomy to local government in Nigeria is a significant step forward towards deepening democracy and bringing governance closer to the people.
