Are we really operating three tiers of govt n federalism? Why should a governor sack LG chairmen he didn't appoint, weren't they elected?
They were preparing for election, yes, the president didn't sack d governors prior to election right?


They were caretaker chairmen and election has to be done, they were just relieved of their duty, they have the freedom to vy for the post.. That will name them a legal chairman... Caretaker means take charge 4 d main time

Great useless local government

I just wish we can gain change or even transformation at this level.

Really wish PDP can win some local government areas in Lagos to compensate them grin

The Chairmen are good at buying properties.
They collect dues and remit illegally.
They convert wives of poor citizens

Say no to bad women.

Following the resolution of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Thursday relieving the Executive Secretaries of the 57 Local Governments Councils and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the State of their responsibilities, the State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode has approved the immediate dissolution of the Caretaker Committees.


In a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr Tunji Bello, the Governor also directed the Executive Secretaries to hand over the reins of administration to the Head of Administration in each of the Council Areas.


Thursday’s dissolution of the Caretaker committees is preparatory to the holding that is a good move my dear guvnor,only GOD can judge me
....ready4watever....


The State House of Assembly had also on April 22 this year passed into law a bill recommending a four year tenure for elected Local Government helmsmen instead of the three years tenure that hitherto obtained.


It would be recalled that the Caretaker Committees which was headed by Executive Secretaries were inaugurated by former Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola on January 5, 2015.

Most people commenting here don't know the reason for the move. Perhaps they are not Lagosians

Oya lemme change ur commenting faculty

These sacked chairmen were caretaker chairmen simply because they ought to have vacate their position since August 2015

Until the law that creates a joint states and local government account for allocation is repelled and the elections to them council are conducted by the centre body, the local governments in Nigeria would never function.

I think this is a good move. Local government autonomy is the only way to grassroot development. If other state governments can copy lagos state. Nigeria will surely move forward but they will hardly do that cos they want local government to be direct ATM to their pockets.

Bro if autonomous fg, nass, state gov, state assembly hasn't helped us then how the he'll would autonomous LG help?

Truth is they are all greedy criminals these naija politicians.

No human is above theft n embezzlement but nigerian politicians steal 80%. Share 10% to their boys and use 8% to work on projects.

The remaining 2% is for the next govt lols

my comment wasnt about the post init, seen a lot of what I said down here. in my state, the gov terminates the appointment for lg chairmen and chose caretakers at will, plus chairmen aren't allowed to run for second term.
guess I was wrong to attribute it to this story cause Lotta peeps don't know where I was coming from.
