THE All Progressives Congress (APC) Committee on True Federalism inaugurated last August by the John Odigie-Oyegun-led national working committee on Thursday, submitted its report with far-reaching recommendations. Kaduna State governor and chairman of the committee, Nasir el-Rufai, told the gathering of the party chieftains and leadership that his committee had recommended that local councils be scrapped, while the nation should run two-tier system of government. The governor promised his committee recommendations on views of Nigerians who sent memoranda and spoke with his team across the country. The section that lists the local governments and their headquarters should be removed, so local governments are no longer named in the constitution. States can create their local governments and determine the structure of their local governments.
