Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has dissolved
the committees of caretaker chairmen of the 23 local government councils
of the State.
who explained that the decision was based on the expiration of the six-month term of office of the former interim chairmen.
“The interim management committees of the 23 local government
councils were appointed on 3rd July 2015 for a period of six months in
the first instance. The Local Government (Administration) Law No. 12 of
2012 provides that their tenure can be extended by the Kaduna State
House of Assembly.
“The government has made appropriate submissions for the extension of
the tenure of the IMCs, but the House of Assembly is currently on
recess. Therefore, the lawful thing to do is to dissolve the interim
management committees with effect from 6 January 2016,” the statement
read.
Governor El-Rufai extended appreciation to all the IMC members for
their “selfless and dedicated service to their local governments in
particular, and Kaduna State in general”.
The statement further directed all the former caretaker chairmen to
hand over to the most senior director in their respective local
governments, who will oversee the office pending action by members of
the state’s House of Assembly.
