The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) says the Supreme Court verdict granting financial autonomy to local government areas is a restoration of hope for the country’s democracy.

The NLC president, JOE AJAERO said the Supreme Court through this landmark judgment has restored hope in democracy.

According to the NLC leader, the verdict is both courageous and respectable.

AJAERO, however, wants the Supreme Court ruling implemented and questioned the conduct of local government elections by state electoral commissions.
