The Nigerian Bar Association is set to host a State of the Nation Discourse on Local Government Financial Autonomy, a critical conversation aimed at ensuring full compliance with the Supreme Court’s judgment in Attorney General of the Federation v. Attorney General of Abia State & 35 Others.

This high-level engagement will bring together State Governors, the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and the general public to interrogate the challenges hindering the full implementation of this landmark decision.

Originally scheduled for February 10, 2025, the event will now take place on February 19, 2025, at the NBA House, 1101 Muhammadu Buhari Way, Abuja.

We regret any inconvenience this adjustment may cause, but we remain committed to fostering a robust and impactful dialogue on local government autonomy.

Join us as we chart a path toward a more accountable and efficient local government system in Nigeria.

We look forward to your participation!”
