The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, has said that local government administration must be fixed to meet its expectations.

Speaking at the 2021 General Assembly of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), in Abuja, the Speaker assured the readiness of the House to assist in making the local governments in Nigeria better through the instrument of the law.

“The local government administrations in Nigeria are the closest to the people. They should be responsible for making decisions and providing services that ensure the quality of life for the Nigerian people.

“Until we fix local government administration in Nigeria, we will not be able to fully deliver on the promise of democratic governance in a way that allows us to achieve our country’s full potential.

“Local government leaders must at all times strive towards a culture of service and the practice of excellence.

“You must respect the rule of law. Part of that means ensuring that the legislative arm of local government administration performs its separate functions without undue executive interference.

“For too long, we have avoided the hard conversations about our nation’s future. We cannot afford to do that anymore.

“I assure you all that the 9th House of Representatives will not waiver from our commitment to take whatever legislative actions that are necessary to achieve the highest ambitions we have for Nigeria.

“I assure you also that we are ready to work with the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) and all stakeholders to fix local government administration in Nigeria once and for all.”
