8:30Now PlayingThe local government autonomy that the Nigerian Senate approved on Wednesday has been described as something that will be beneficial to Nigeria's democracy despite reports that governors are kicking against it.
On Channels Television's programme, Sunrise Daily, on Friday, a Lawyer, Boye Leyimu, said that the governors of the states had kicked against the approved autonomy because it would erode their influence and promote devolution of power at state level.
He pointed out that the local governments were closer to the grassroots and stressed that the local government's direct access to funds from the Federal Government would promote development.
Mr Leyimu, however, emphasised the need for accountability in the local government level to ensure that funds appropriated for development would not be embezzled.
