Amaechi Swears In 21 LG CTC Chairmen

Rivers State Governor and Chairman of Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has sworn in 21 Local Government Caretaker Chairmen to pilot the affairs of their councils.
Rivers State has 23 local government areas but Degema and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni council chairmen still have their tenures running, so were not affected.
The 21 caretaker chairmen were sworn in at the weekend after screening by the Rivers State House of Assembly as the tenure of the former council chairmen came to an end on Saturday.
At the brief swearing-in ceremony at the Executive Council Chambers of Government House, Port Harcourt, the caretaker chairmen took their oath of office and allegiance.
Five of the caretaker Committee Chairmen were former council chairmen.
They are those of Abua/Odual, Ogu/Bolo, Gokana, Asari-Toru and Eleme local government areas.
Governor  Amaechi, in his remarks, congratulated the caretaker chairmen on their appointment, and urged them to make judicious use of council funds to benefit the people in their areas.
He said: “Chairmen, caretaker committees and former chairmen of councils, congratulations, I wish you luck. I hope by Monday morning before 9am, you will have sworn in the other members in your committees, and I hope you will apply your funds judiciously. I wish you God’s blessings”.
Governor Amaechi also on Saturday swore in the Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission, Hon. Nnamdi Wokekoro.
