A group, Enforcers of Good Governance (EGG), has urged Nigerians to demand accountability from state governors and local government chairmen for improved governance and service delivery at sub- national levels.
This appeal was made during a press conference organised in collaboration with the Nigerian Diaspora for Asiwaju (NDA) in Abuja.
Kingsley Ogu, the convener and national leader of the group, emphasised that while much attention is focused on the presidency, Nigerians must also scrutinise and demand results from their state and local government leaders.
Mr Ogu noted that recent reforms have granted local governments greater financial autonomy and liquidity, which should translate into tangible benefits at the grassroots level.
“Is your local government richer now than it was three years ago? If the answer is yes, then ask yourself what your council chairmen and governors are doing with that wealth,” he challenged.
