I agree that match to national development must and should commence at the local government level. This is due to the proximity of local authorities to the population. The bread and butter or corn and groundnuts, if you will, of the importance of government to the people. Pre and primary education, markets, secondary roads, rubbish collection etc core duties of local authorities has immediate impact on the citizens than mosts. The demand for effective local authorities is not meant to placate failed politicians to state and national levels to cool their heels. This must be a husbandry of talents and laboratory of democracy for the nation. They should have stability and not a plaything for governors. Neither must they turn into mini states able to just go alone without reference to the goals of the states.
