Opposition political parties in Ondo State are expressing strong opposition to the government’s proposal to create 33 new Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state.
The State Executive Council has approved the creation of these LCDAs, and the bill is now with the State House of Assembly for enactment.
If approved by the State House of Assembly, this would increase the number of local councils from the current 18 statutory local councils to 51.
SDP’s Stance on the Creation of LCDAs
The party raises concerns about the additional financial burden the new LCDAs could place on the already struggling Ondo State economy.
