Plateau State Governor Dissolves Local Government Transition Committee

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has taken a significant step towards democratic progress by dissolving the Local Government Transition Implementation Committee across the 17 local government areas of the state. This decision was announced by the Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, in a statement on Saturday.

According to the statement, the governor has directed Directors of Personnel Management to assume responsibility for the administration of the council areas until elections are held on October 9, 2024, to fill the positions. This move is seen as a crucial step towards ensuring the smooth transition of power and promoting good governance in the state.

Governor Mutfwang has also commended the transition committee chairmen for their exemplary leadership and dedication to advancing developmental projects that have directly impacted on their communities. He expressed satisfaction 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 has further encouraged the transition committee chairmen to collaborate with their constituents to ensure the party’s success in the forthcoming local government elections. His commitment to running an inclusive, transparent, and accountable government that will serve the interests of all plateau citizens is a reassuring sign of his dedication to the welfare of the people.

The transition committee was constituted in June 2023 following the dissolution of elected local government council officials by Governor Mutfwang. This new development is expected to have a significant impact on the state’s political landscape and will be closely monitored by stakeholders and citizens alike.
