Isiala Ngwa North, Abia State — Jubilant scenes unfolded in Isiala Ngwa North as workers and residents celebrated a significant legal victory delivered by the Supreme Court of Nigeria. The court's ruling affirmed the autonomy of Local Government Areas (LGAs) across the country, marking a pivotal moment in local governance.

"The Supreme Court's decision reaffirms our autonomy and strengthens our resolve to serve our community better," remarked a local government official in Isiala Ngwa North.
