Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde has expressed his opinion on the Supreme Court’s ruling regarding local government autonomy, stating that it is a distraction.

During a meeting with the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) executives, led by national president Chief Chris Isiguzo, at the secretariat in Ibadan, the Governor urged his colleagues to concentrate on productivity rather than being sidetracked by the Supreme Court’s decision.

He emphasized the need to address the real issues of low productivity and insufficient food production in the country, rather than getting caught up in debates about financial autonomy for local governments.

Governor Makinde stressed the importance of focusing on measures that will restore confidence in the people and put the country back on the path of growth and progress.
