…CHARGES
THEM TO IMPROVE SECURITY
Rivers
State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has charged the newly sworn in Local
Government Caretaker Committee Chairmen to focus on the improvement of security
and enhancement of environmental sanitation in their respective Local
Government Areas.
He
spoke on Monday at the Government House, Port Harcourt while swearing in 20
Local Government Council Caretaker Committee Chairmen.
Governor
Wike declared that he will sack any Caretaker Committee Chairman who fails to
improve security and enhance environmental sanitation.
He
said: “The Caretaker Chairmen have two basic functions: Security and
Environmental Sanitation. You are not expected to embark on construction work
within these three months, improve security in your localities.”
The
Governor said that the Caretaker Committee Chairmen of Degema, Asari Toru and
Akuku Toru were not re-appointed because of the heightened insecurity in their
local government areas.
The
governor noted that his administration will not tolerate any form of corruption
in the management of the local government resources, adding that any Caretaker
Committee Chairman involved in corrupt practices will be sanctioned.
The
Governor stated that erring chairmen will not be saved by political godfathers,
pointing out that only the interest of the state is paramount.
