OYO TO SPEND ₦4.28BN ON DECEMBER 29 COUNCIL ELECTIONS
The Oyo State Government and its 33 local government councils are set to spend ₦4.278 billion on chairmanship and councillorship elections scheduled for December 29, 2026.
The funds are expected to cover the organisation and conduct of the local government elections across the state.
The exercise will determine the next set of elected chairmen and councillors responsible for administering the state’s 33 local government areas.
Local government elections are an important part of grassroots governance, allowing residents to elect representatives responsible for local development and public services.
The planned expenditure comes as preparations begin for the December polls, with attention likely to focus on the allocation of funds and the arrangements for conducting a credible election.
Further details on how the ₦4.278 billion will be distributed between the state government and the 33 councils, as well as the specific breakdown of election expenses, were not provided in the information available.
