Скачать или смотреть Federation Account Allocation: Senate Calls for Inclusion of LGAs and Councils in Committee

The Senate advocates urgent reform of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) to include representatives from local governments and area councils. This initiative follows a recent Supreme Court ruling affirming the constitutional right of local governments to direct allocations from the federation account, bypassing state governments. Currently, FAAC comprises only federal and state representatives, a framework deemed outdated by lawmakers. Including local government representatives aims to enhance transparency and accountability in fund distribution. In this live discussion, Barrister Jide Ologun and Professor Anthony Kila, a Political Economist and Director of the Commonwealth Institute for Advanced Professional Studies, share their insights on how this reform could reshape fiscal federalism and improve governance at the grassroots level. They also examine the constitutional precedents for this change and its potential impact on intergovernmental relations and service delivery.
