Welcome Address by Ms. Ojobo Atuluku, Chair of Agora Policy

National Policy Dialogue on Local Governance Reform | July 22, 2025 In this powerful opening to Agora Policy’s high-level national dialogue, Ms. Ojobo Atuluku, Chair of Agora Policy, sets the tone for a critical conversation on local government reform in Nigeria, one year after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling on financial autonomy for Local Government Areas (LGAs). While recognising the legal milestone that outlawed caretaker committees and mandated direct federal allocations to LGAs, she offers a clear-eyed reminder: “This legal clarity has not yet translated into transformative change.” Her remarks challenge stakeholders to move beyond compliance and toward real, people-centred governance, driven by accountability, inclusion, and community engagement. This welcome address kicks off a day of deep reflection, debate, and policy exploration involving leaders from all tiers of government, civil society, and development partners.
