The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi SAN has vowed to ensure the conviction and imprisonment of any local government chairmen or councillors tampering with FAAC allocations.

Speaking at the 17th anniversary lecture of the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) in Abuja, the AGF highlighted that the Supreme Court’s recent judgment in favor of LG autonomy would enhance local governance, security, and human rights.

This move follows President Tinubu’s commitment to addressing governance issues at the grassroots level through judicial action.
