Attendance register doesn’t violate LG autonomy - Gov Alia’s aide replies PDP

The Chief Press Secretary to the Benue State Governor, Sir Tersoo Kula, defended the directive requiring local government workers to maintain daily attendance registers, dismissing the PDP's objection as a misinterpretation of local government autonomy. He argued that monitoring attendance does not interfere with financial autonomy and emphasized that the Constitution recognizes the system of elected local councils. Kula distinguished between financial autonomy and personnel management, stating that keeping attendance records does not control local government finances.
