Anambra hails Supreme Court ruling on autonomous communities

The Anambra State Government has welcomed the Supreme Court's decision against the creation of autonomous communities within the state. The government believes that such a move could fragment large communities and lead to confusion and conflict. In a statement released on Tuesday, the State Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, emphasized that the council also advised those advocating for autonomous communities to abandon the idea, as per the Supreme Court judgment.

Instead, the council encouraged them to focus on uniting and developing their communities as they currently exist. This decision came during a State Executive Council meeting held at the Light House in Awka on Monday. The council also addressed other significant matters, such as project awarding, and debunked rumors that the government intended to reclaim mission-returned schools, confirming that no such plan existed.
