• DPMs to take charge as KWSIEC issues LG election date
Directors of Personnel Management (DPM) are to take charge of the administration of the 16 local government areas of Kwara State until a new election is held in September.
This effectively dissolves the Transition Implementation Committees (TICs) earlier appointed to manage the councils pending new local government elections.
This development was convened in a statement signed on Friday by Mrs Modupe Iyabo Adekeye, the Permanent Secretary, Kwara State Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs, and Community Development.
This development comes a few days after the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC) slated the next local council election for September 21, 2024.
