Yobe State House of Assembly on Tuesday received a list of nominees from the executive seeking confirmation as chairmen and members of the Local Government Caretaker Management Committee to run the affairs of the 17 local governments for the period of six months.
This followed the expiration of the six months tenure in office of the caretaker chairmen of the 17 local governments in the state.
The leader of the Yobe State House of Assembly, Bukar Mustapha, read the letter which was presented to the House by the executive arm of government.
He said “Following the expiration of chairmen and members of the Caretaker Management Committee for the 17 local government councils in the state, there is a need to appoint caretaker management committees for the 17 local governments so as not to create a vacuum in the Local Government Administration.”
