Both chambers of the National Assembly have voted for financial and administrative autonomy for local government councils across the Federation.
While 92 senators voted to pass financial autonomy for Local Governments, 88 voted to pass administrative autonomy of LGAs.
However, the House also voted to amend the Constitution to grant autonomy to State Legislature and Judiciary.
However, the bill that seeks to grant the National Assembly the power to override a presidential veto on an amendment to the constitution failed to muster the required 288 votes.
Two hundred and eighty-four members voted yes to the amendment.
