Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has approved the dissolution of all the Local Government Caretaker Committees in the state, with immediate effect.
The directive dissolving the committees is contained in a terse media statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Ibrahim Muhammad Kashim and made available to journalists on Tuesday.
Recall that the disbanded caretaker committees for the 20 LGAs were only inaugurated in 2022, following the expiration of the tenure of the elected council heads.
In the statement, the Governor directed the Chairmen of the Local Government Caretaker Committees to hand over the affairs of the local governments to their respective Heads of Administration pending the appointment of substantive caretaker committees.
