ABUJA—THE Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE, has called on the leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC, to discard the report of Governor Nasir el-Rufai-led ad hoc committee on restructuring over its recommendation for the scrapping of local government system by delisting it from the nation’s constitution.
Speaking at a briefing in Abuja yesterday, NULGE National President, Mr. Ibrahim Khaleel, alleged that the el-Rufai committee had a pre-determined agenda to hijack and divert the ongoing constitution amendment process waiting action by state assemblies.
Noting that the union is not against restructuring and devolution of power in the country, Khaleel faulted the logic behind the suggested removal of power from the Federal and local government and adding to the powers of the states.
