Gov. Ahmed orders LG chairmen to reverse unauthorised appointments

The Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, has given the 8 suspended council chairmen a week to reverse the unauthorised recruitment or face further sanctions. The remaining eight sitting chairmen also have the same deadline to reverse the appointments if they are involved or be referred to the State House of Assembly for stiffer sanctions.

Governor Ahmed issued the ultimatum on Thursday during a meeting with principal officers of the State House of Assembly, local government chairmen and Labour leaders in Ilorin.

He described the actions of the suspended local government chairmen as insensitive in view of the fact that salaries are still being owed by all local government councils in the State

The State Governor, according to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Dr. Muyideen Akorede, said the savings from the reversed appointments should be used to pay the outstanding salaries of existing workers.
