The Anambra State Governor, and former CBN boss; CHUKWUMA SOLUDO has described absolute autonomy for local government areas in Nigeria as impossibility, insisting that it will be a recipe for chaos.

Governor SOLUDO made the assertion while signing the Local Government Administration Law in Awka, the state capital, yesterday.

According to him, the attendant challenges before the issue of local government autonomy are such that would certainly deepen the fate of the system and spell doom for the expected beneficiaries of the process.

He noted that the new laws enacted by the Anambra House of Assembly are therefore consequential to give operational life to the Supreme Court judgment and not to undermine it.

Governor SOLUDO stressed that the challenge ahead will be daunting given the quantum rise in wage bills because of the new minimum wage, as well as consequential rise in future pension/gratuity payments.
