Plateau: Governor fires Local Government Transition Committees

Plateau state governor, Simon Lalong, has approved the dissolution of the existing local government transition committees with immediate effect.

The governor directed the chairmen and management committee members to immediately hand over the running of affairs of the local government councils to the directors of personnel management pending further actions in line with the provision of law.

The governor appreciated the dissolved council management committees for their selfless service in the two years of their stewardship.

A report says reasons for the dissolution were not given.

However, it is believed that the decision was to pave way for election in the 17 local government councils.
