The Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has sacked 17 Local Government Transition Implementation Committee Chairmen, effective 6th September 2024.
The Chairmen of the Committees were inaugurated on June 9, 2023, with an initial six-month tenure. However, their terms were extended multiple times, with the latest extension ending on Friday night.
The Governor made the announcement in a statement signed by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr Gyang Bere, and issued on Friday night.
According to the statement, all the Directors of Personnel Management in the 17 LG areas are to assume responsibility for the administration of the local governments until elections are held on 9th October 2024 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.”
The Governor further encouraged the former chairmen to collaborate with their constituents to ensure the party’s success in the forthcoming local government elections.
