Tuesday, June 18, 2024 -Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has ordered the auditor general of the state to begin the audit of the accounts of the 23 Local Government Areas for the past three years.
While swearing in the Caretaker Committee
Chairmen of the Local Government Areas on Wednesday, June 19, the governor said
the move is intended to serve as a check for the incoming officials.
He urged the caretaker chairmen to protect the interests of their people and
demonstrate that the government made the right choice in appointing them.
Fubara explained that the fight against
tenure extension is not just about Rivers state, but Nigeria, as allowing it in
one state could lead to it being replicated nationwide.
The Rivers governor added that the process
for local government area elections would commence soon.
