Plateau gov sacks 17 transition LG chairmen
Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has announced the dissolution of the 17 Local Government Transition Implementation Committee Chairmen, effective 6th September 2024.
The Governor disclosed this in a statement issued on Friday night.
The committees were constituted on 9th June 2023 and were initially scheduled to last six months, but their tenures were extended several times until Friday night.
The Governor’s statement, signed by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr Gyang Bere, directed the Directors of Personnel Management in the 17 LG areas to assume responsibility for the administration of the local governments until elections are held on 9th October 2024 to fill the positions.
The statement read, “Governor Mutfwang commended the Transition Committee Chairmen for their exemplary leadership and dedication to advancing developmental projects that have directly impacted their communities.
“He expressed pride in their accomplishments and urged them to continue offering valuable counsel to promote peace and unity within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Plateau State.”
Governor Mutfwang also encouraged the former chairmen to collaborate with their constituents to ensure the party’s success in the forthcoming local government elections.
He thanked the people of Plateau State for their unwavering support, noting that the outcome of the PDP primaries for the chairmanship and councillorship elections reflects the deep connection the people have with the party.
The Governor reaffirmed his commitment to running an inclusive, transparent, and accountable government that serves the interests of all Plateau citizens.
