This is the third time Governor Amaechi has sworn-in CTC Chairmen for another 3 months in office.

According to him, “I want you all to attach seriousness to your primary assignment. It is my hope that the police and other security operatives will help you in arresting the criminals who are gradually increasing crime in the state. If you look around the state, you will notice the presence of troops and they are moving to every nook and cranny to chase out those hoodlums called criminals. Please, ensure that law abiding citizens are not molested or harassed by anybody”, Amaechi said.
Governor Amaechi equally charged the council chairmen to start making preparations ahead of the local government council elections.
He also tasked the council chairmen to be fair to all most especially in the discharge of their duties.
“You are charged also to start making preparations ahead of the local government council elections. You are expected to be fair to all. Don’t be partial, and encourage active participation in politics”, Amaechi said.
