The National Assembly recently voted overwhelmingly in favour of Local Government Autonomy. Is that News? Of course, it is not because that is a stale gist. It is an issue that has been paid lip service to, in the last 3 decades.

Join Richie Oviri on Oodua FM 90.9 FM "The State of the Nation" (Saturday 3pm) as he interacts and gets the expert opinion of Professor Isiaka O. Aransi (Professor of Local Government Studies).
