Governor Rauf Aregbesola has announced the
creation of 31 Local Council Development Areas, 3 Area Councils and 2
administrative offices, just as he dissolved the five
years old caretaker committees in the original 30
councils, including Modakeke Area office.
Governor Rauf Aregbesola also announced that the management committees of the 30 Local
Councils and Area Office have been dissolved together with the removal of
their Executive Secretaries, deputy executive
secretaries, members, Special Advisers and other
functionaries.
The Governor continued in his State broadcast today that the entire local government system
will be managed by Council Managers for three
months. "These managers shall be appointed and
deployed by Local Government Service Commission
from among the substantive grade level 14 officers
in the local governments. Grade level 15 officers and
above at the local governments should consequently
report to the Local Government Service Commission
for further briefing", He said.
Considering the significance of the grassroots government, "many would be wondering and asking: why create
more councils at this special time of financial
challenges? We have also given sufficient
consideration to this. With this new parliamentary
system, it will cost less to run the new councils and
save a lot of money for the government than in the
past.
The primary responsibilities of our new local
government system are sanitation, market
management and revenue mobilisation and
generation. This is consistent with local government
administration worldwide", Governor Aregbesola said.
