Kogi State House of Assembly Extends Tenure of Transition Committee Chairmen

 

The Kogi State House of Assembly has approved a six-month extension for the Transition Committee Chairmen in the state. This decision was made during the house plenary session on Friday, July 5, 2024. The extension was granted due to financial constraints and a high wage bill, which have made it difficult to hold local government elections at this time.

 

Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo had earlier sent a letter to the house, requesting the extension. In his letter, he explained that the state is currently facing financial challenges, which have made it difficult to conduct local government elections. He stated that the high wage bill is also a major concern, and that the extension will give the state time to sort out these issues.

 

The Governor also stated that the next six months will be focused on submitting reports to the Assembly. He urged the Transition Committee Chairmen to take note of this and to ensure that they submit their reports on time. The reports will provide valuable insights into the workings of the local governments and will help the Assembly to make informed decisions.

 

The tenure of the 21 Transition Committee Chairmen was set to expire on July 8, 2024, but will now end on January 8, 2025. This extension will allow them to continue their work in the state’s local governments until the elections are held. The decision was made to ensure continuity and stability in the governance of the state.

 

The extension of the Transition Committee Chairmen’s tenure is a welcome development in Kogi State. It will give the state time to sort out its financial challenges and to ensure that the local government elections are held in a free and fair manner. The decision is also a testament to the commitment of the state government to good governance and to the well-being of its citizens.
