BREAKING: Kebbi Assembly Extends Tenure for Local Government Chairmen and Councillors

Kebbi State House of Assembly has recently approved an amendment to the Local Government Law of 2008, extending the tenure of elected local government chairmen and councillors from two to three years. This change aims to enhance stability and continuity within local governance, enabling officials to undertake and complete long-term development projects effectively.

In addition to this extension, the Assembly has also passed a bill to establish the Kebbi State Local Government Service Commission. This new commission will replace the existing Kebbi State Local Service Board, which was established under Cap 87 of 1996. The commission will oversee the management of local government staff, ensuring higher standards of professionalism and efficiency in service delivery.

Both bills passed their third reading and were approved during a session in Birnin Kebbi.

Hon Dangoje noted that extending the tenure of local government officials will provide them with more time to implement development projects, thereby offering stability in local governance. The new Local Government Service Commission is expected to enhance oversight, improve service delivery, and promote transparency and accountability within local government operations.

These legislative changes reflect the Assembly’s commitment to improving local governance and advancing grassroots development. The extension of tenure and the formation of the new commission are anticipated to contribute to better service delivery and overall governance in Kebbi State.
