EFCC vows to monitor local government activities to ensure good governance

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has pledged to closely monitor local government activities to ensure good governance, accountability, and transparency following the recent Supreme Court judgement granting financial autonomy to local governments.
The anti-graft agency disclosed this in Abuja on Monday at a national dialogue organised by Agora Policy themed Enthroning Accountability in Local Government in Nigeria.
The EFCC Chairman, who was represented at the event by Friday Ebelo, stated that Good governance encompasses three essential elements bordering on accountability, transparency, and citizen participation, and for these elements to be effective, the country needs dedicated and development-minded individuals to manage local government administrations.
