The Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftancy Matters, Hon. Tony-Collins Nwabunwanne, made this known at the ASATU complex, Awka, shortly after being decorated as the Grand Commander and National Ambassador of ASATU.
The Commissioner explained that there would be transition committees that would be in office for a period of one year after which the governor will constitute ANSIEC for the conduct of local council elections.
Je pointed out that the Heads of Service of all local governments have taken over and that the governor has shown full commitment towards taking everything back to the local governments and the grassroots level for constant and consistent activities therein.
Nwabunwanne however recalled that in past administrations virtually all sources of revenues for local governments came from the state government, but emphasized that the present administration was determined to give local governments their original places in the polity.
He also observed that local government workers were no longer coming to work due to lack of necessary paraphernalia to work with, stressing that Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo will provide all the necessary things needed to motivate local government workers to embrace their jobs again and resuscitate the local government system in Anambra state.
