Vice President KASHIM SHETTIMA has said the recent Supreme Court judgment granting full financial autonomy to local government (LG) councils will enhance Nigeria’s universal basic education system.

The vice president, who warned against abuse of LG autonomy, stated this at the public presentation of a book in Abuja.

The vice president said the autonomy of local governments, which are directly responsible for providing primary education, will address the financial limitations that have hindered the alignment of administrative units with the government’s educational agenda.

SHETTIMA also assured Nigerians that the ongoing reforms initiated by President BOLA TINUBU will address inadequacies and ideologies frustrating universal education in the country.
