TLDR
- The Local Authorities Accounts Committee (LAAC) has dismissed the Same District Council for failing to comply with its directives and the recommendations of the Controller and Auditor General (CAG).
- LAAC Chairman Ado Shaibu announced this decision after being dissatisfied with the council's implementation of its orders and CAG's audit findings for the fiscal years 2023/24 and 2024/25.
- Out of seven directives issued by LAAC on October 27, 2024, the Same District Council has only implemented two.
- In the audit for the fiscal year 2024/25, CAG raised 18 issues, but the council addressed only four, which is 22 percent compliance.
- LAAC noted that previous audit issues remain unresolved, with only three out of nine outstanding issues being addressed, indicating a lack of accountability.
