Ahead of October 9 local government election in Plateau State , Governor Caleb Mutfwang has dissolved the Transition Implementation Committees of all the 17 local governments in the state.
The dissolution takes effect from September 6, 2024.
The development is contained in a statement signed by the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the governor, Mr. Gyang Bere.
The statement said Directors of Personnel Management (DPMs) will take charge of the councils until the elections are held.
The Transition Implementation Committee Chairmen were inaugurated on June 9, 2023, and have been in office for over a year.
The statement reads : “Following the dissolution of the Transition Implementation Committee chairmen, Directors of Personnel Management (DPMs) are to assume responsibility for the administration of the local government areas until elections are held on October 9, 2024, to fill the positions.”
Governor Mutfwang commended the Transition Committee Chairmen for their leadership and dedication to developmental projects that have positively 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 the state.
The governor also encouraged the former chairmen to collaborate with their constituents to ensure the party’s success in the forthcoming local government elections.
He thanked the people of the state for their unwavering support, noting that the outcome of the PDP primaries for the chairmanship and councilorship elections reflects the deep connection the people have with the party.
