Plateau Governor sacks 17 transition LG chairmen

Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has dissolved the 17 Local Government Transition Implementation Committee Chairmen, effective from September 6, 2024.

 

The decision was announced in a statement issued on Friday night by the Governor’s Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr. Gyang Bere. The transition committees were initially set up on June 9, 2023, with a tenure of six months, but their terms were extended multiple times until their dissolution.

 

In the interim, the Governor directed the Directors of Personnel Management in the 17 local government areas to oversee the administration of the councils until elections scheduled for October 9, 2024, are held 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.”
