The state Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, Mr. Paul Omotoso, at a ministerial press briefing in Ado-Ekiti, said the fund is a legitimate right of every state of the federation, and as such no state should be begging for it.
Omotosho who said denying the state of the fund is unfair, added, “Instead of the Federal Government to assist us, it is not doing anything”.
The commissioner disclosed plans of the government to construct a modern neighbourhood market in each of the 16 local government headquarters.
He said the sites for the proposed markets have been located inspected, and that bids have also been received from prospective contractors.
