Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has approved the dissolution of all the Local Government Caretaker Committees of the 20 local government areas in the state with immediate effect.

It could be recalled that the caretaker committees for the 20 LGAs were inaugurated in 2022 following the expiration of the tenure of the elected councils in line with the Local Government Administration laws of the state.

The dissolution of the caretaker committees of the LGAs was contained in a three-paragraph statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Ibrahim Muhammad Kashim, as some copies were made available to journalists yesterday.

The statement said: “Accordingly, the chairmen of the Local Government Caretaker Committees are therefore directed to hand over the affairs of the local government areas to their respective heads of administration pending the appointment of substantive caretaker committees.

“The government wishes all the ousted Local Government Caretaker Committee members success in their future endeavours.”
