Let’s Support Farmer Mohammed Umar Bago administration—-IJah
The tenure of Transition Committee Chairmen in Kogi State, has been extended by State House of Assembly for another Six months.
This was the resolution of the hallow chamber during the House plenary on Friday.
The extension of the tenure of the Transition Committee Chairmen is a sequel to a letter sent to the State House of Assembly by Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo.
Governor Ododo said that paucity of funds and high wage bills are some of the reasons why Local Government elections cannot be conducted in the state.
The Kogi State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. Umar Yusuf who read the letter charged the chairmen to be good ambassadors of their respective Local Governments.
“In the next six months, it will be interesting at the Local Government level as there will be mostly submission of reports to the Assembly. The Chairmen henceforth should take note of this” he stated.
It will be recalled that the tenure of the 21 Transition Committee Chairmen in Kogi State was expected to expire on the 8th of July, 2024.
Following the approval by the State House of Assembly, the Transition Committee Chairmen are now expected to vacate their offices on 8th January 2025 when local government elections will be duly conducted.
