The Supreme Court will today Thursday, July 11, deliver judgment in the suit filed by the Federal Government against the 36 state governors seeking full autonomy for the 774 local governments in the country.
A document sighted on Wednesday at the apex court indicated that parties in the suit have been notified through their respective lawyers.
It was observed that the notice for the judgment delivery was served on the federal government through the office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice at the Federal Ministry of Justice in Abuja.
It would be recalled that Justice Garba Mohammed Lawal had on Thursday June 13 reserved judgment in the suit and announced that parties in the matter would be communicated once the judgment is ready.
Justice Lawal, who led a 7-man panel of Justices of the apex court, announced the reservation of the judgment after the federal government and the governors presented their cases for adjudication.
The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, presented the case of the federal government, while the 36 state governors presented their own cases through their lawyers.
