Katsina State is a law-abiding state and will operate under the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I have asked the state attorney general to give me a full report on the legal implications of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Dr Radda empathized with the local government chairmen, stating \u201cAs you know, I was once the chairman of Charanchi Local Government during the administration of our beloved President Umaru Musa Yar\u2019adua. I was involved in the day-to-day administration of my local government, and I am fully aware of the challenges and pains most of you are facing.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">To that effect he said, \u201cWe have already carried out party primaries in line with electoral best practices, and some current chairmen will return through a democratic process, Insha Allah. In this dispensation, we are most likely the only state to transition from one democratically elected local government council to another.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">On the potential challenges posed by the court judgment, particularly regarding financial management, personnel matters, and the state\u2019s ongoing developmental projects, Radda noted that: \u201cBetween June 2023 and June 2024, the federal allocation to local governments in Katsina was about 130.1 billion. 66 billion was spent on salaries, 10.1 billion on pensions and gratuities, 12.13 billion on security, 376.6 million on security requests from some local governments, and 4 billion on direct running costs to local government councils.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He then stressed the need for a comprehensive strategy to address the challenges posed by the judgment. According to him, \u201cwe must use the coming weeks to review all our existing laws and begin to work on new laws that will harmonise our developmental objectives.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KTSG to Implement LG Autonomy &nbsp;
