THE Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom
Wike, on Thursday dissolved the Caretaker Committees of 17 out of the 23
local government areas in the state.
Wike’s
decision to dissolve the caretaker committees is coming on the heels of
the suspension of the state Head of Service, Mr. Rufus Godwins, four
commissioners and one special adviser.
Though
no reason was given for the development, the governor, through his
Special Adviser on Electronic Media, Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, said the
dissolution of the LG caretaker committees would take immediate effect.
“The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has dissolved the Caretaker Committees of 17 local government areas of the state.
“The dissolution of the caretaker committees takes immediate effect,” the statement issued in Port Harcourt read.
The statement listed the affected councils as Abua/Odual, Akuku-Toru Ahoada East, Andoni, Bonny, Eleme and Emohua.
Others are Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Omuma, Oyigbo, Port Harcourt City, Etche, Ikwerre, Obio/Akpor, Ogu/Bolo and Okrika and Tai.
The
statement, however, directed the affected caretaker committee chairmen
to hand over to the most senior officials in their respective councils.
