Edo North senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has expressed his support for the financial autonomy of local governments in Nigeria.

On July 11, 2024, the Supreme Court upheld the financial autonomy of local governments.

Oshiomhole, speaking at a forum on local government autonomy organized by the House of Representatives on Monday, emphasized the importance of character in governance and accountability.

He advised local government chairmen to allocate resources to roads, hospitals, and other public services.

On a lighter note, Oshiomhole remarked, “It’s better to have 774 local government chairmen who are thieves than one big thief,” adding that with the autonomy, every local government in Nigeria will produce one or two billionaires, rather than having just one billionaire in the entire state.
