We”ll appeal judgement on Local Government: Kwara state Government

The judgment in respect of the case filed by the incorporated Trustee of Elite Network for Sustainable Development was delivered today, the 8th of October, 2021.

We wish to state that the reasoning of the trial judge is not a finality on the issue as it is subject to appeals at the higher benches, up to the Supreme Court. This allowance is guaranteed under our law.

In exercise of its right of appeal as enshrined under the 1999 constituion as amended, the state government intends to explore that right. It will also, as allowed under the law, seek immediate stay of execution of the judgment of the trial Court.

Hon. Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice
