Muhammed Abubakar
Muhammed Abubakar is the Secretary General of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), actively advocating for the financial autonomy of local governments in Nigeria. He has been in the news for his criticism of the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation regarding the implementation of a Supreme Court ruling that mandates direct funding for local councils. Abubakar asserts that the AGF's actions contradict the court’s decision, as they impose restrictions on local governments' ability to manage their own finances.
