State Assembly extends tenure of LG caretaker chairmen

Abdulwasi said the tenure extension was for three months from March to May 4, pending the conduct of the local government elections.

The Deputy Speaker of the assembly, Mr Musa Abdulwasiu, told newsmen in Ibadan that the decision was unanimously adopted sequel to a formal request by Gov. Abiola Ajimobi.

According to him, the extension was to avoid any vacuum in the administration of the local councils.

NAN reports that Ajimobi appointed the current caretaker chairmen in March 2017.
