Supreme Court gives states 7 days to file defence over LG autonomy suit

Following a lawsuit filed by the Federal Government against them, the 36 state governors of Nigeria have been asked by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to submit their individual defenses.

For each of the nation's 774 local governments, the federal government wants complete authority.

Additionally, after receiving their defense, the court directed Lateef Fagbemi, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), to file his reply within two days.

AGF's appeal for abridgment of time was decided by Justice Garba Lawal, who presided over a seven-member panel and made the order.

According to Justice Lawal, the court's ruling was based on the suit's national urgency and the Attorneys General of the Federation's member states' lack of objection.

The Supreme Court ruled that all paperwork must be filed and exchanged on time, and it set June 13 as the date for the suit's hearing.

Justice Lawal mandated that new hearing notices be sent to the eight states that did not attend Thursday's hearings.

Despite receiving hearing notices, the attorneys general of Borno, Kano, Kogi, Niger, Ogun, Osun, Oyo, and Sokoto states were not present in court.
