Dr Ramalan called for the governors’ immediate compliance with the judgment while charging Nigerian youths in politics to take advantage of the judgment.
He also urged them to prepare to take up leadership positions in their local government to enable them to contribute their quota towards grassroots development.
He called on all Nigerians to focus on and monitor the local government administration in their respective states for resource management and dividends of democracy since autonomy has been fully granted.
