All Progressives Congress (APC) loyalist in Jigawa, Alhaj Ishaq Hadejia, has advised local governments’ administrators to perform well to just the autonomy granted the councils by President Muhammad Buhari.
In an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dutse on Friday, he also commended Gov. Muhammad Badaru of Jigawa for appointing seasoned civil servant as secretaries of local government areas in the state.
He pointed out that those to be appointed as secretaries ought to have possessed the required experience to deliver effectively.
He said that with their wealth of their experience, they would be able to ensure good leadership, ensure transparency and due process in local government administration.
“I know many of those that are appointed in Jigawa are people that have attained senior or management positions during their service.
“With this kind of people, they will be able to advise and guide the local government chairmen in the right directions.
“I, therefore, commend the foresight of Badaru, especially in this critical time that the local government has autonomy.
“Without experience people to guide the chairmen, there will be a lot of mess and blunders at the grassroots which will not speak well for democracy,’’ he said.(NAN)
