adsThe Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Kaduna State Chapter, has dismissed as false, mischievous and politically motivated a report alleging that Governor Uba Sani had hijacked local government allocations in the state.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Jamilu Abubakar, the Chairman of ALGON in Kaduna State, described the publication as a deliberate distortion of facts designed to mislead the public and undermine confidence in the ongoing reforms within the state’s local government system.
According to him, Kaduna State remains one of the few states in the federation that has consistently demonstrated measurable commitment to local government autonomy, fiscal transparency and accountable public finance management.
“The allegation that local government allocations are being diverted or hijacked is entirely unfounded and devoid of credible evidence,” the statement noted.
“Local governments in Kaduna State directly administer salaries, pensions and statutory obligations through structured electronic payment platforms in full compliance with the Supreme Court judgment on local government autonomy.”adsads
