The Nigeria Labour Congress (NAN) says the Supreme Court judgment granting financial autonomy to the Local Government will revitalise governance at the grassroots.

Mr Joe Ajaero, NLC President said this in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja.

Reacting to the apex court judgment granting financial autonomy to local government councils, Ajaero described the decision of the court  as “courageous and transformative”

“”The judgment is significant in restoring democratic principles and fostering national progress.. It is a crucial step towards revitalising grassroots governance, which has been stifled for too long.

“The supreme court through this landmark judgment has not only restored our democracy, but also peoples hope in democracy,” he said.

The labour leader commended the Attorney General of the Federation who went through the whole legal processes.

“We  urge that all necessary measures  be taken that this judgment is not sabotaged at the implementation stage,” he said .
