Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has emphasised the need to critically and painstakingly interrogate the existence and functionality of the local governance structure in Nigeria, to strengthen them for better results.
Osinbajo stated this at the inauguration of the Senior Executive Course
44 themed ‘Strengthening Local Governance in Nigeria: Challenges,
Options and Opportunities’ at the National Institute for Policy and
Strategic Studies, NIPSS, Kuru, Plateau State.
According to him, that will bring about a clearly defined structure from
bottom to top, eliminate obstructions and guarantee the free flow of
communication and interventions from top to bottom, and vice versa.
The Vice President, who was represented by the Chief of Defence Staff,
CDS, Gen. Lucky Irabor, said Nigeria is going through a period of
critical developmental transformation but not without challenges.
