The Kogi State government on Tuesday dissolved the Local Government Councils (LGC) administration in the state.

This is sequel to the confirmation of the State’s nominees for the State Independent Election Commission (SIEC).

The Commissioner for Information, Mr Kingsley Fanwo, stated this in a statement made available to journalists in Lokoja and read in part that the reasons for the dissolution were clearly stated in the statement issued by the SSG.

“Kogi is a state that respects the constitution and constitutionalism. The tenure of the Administrative Teams has elapsed and it is constitutionally expedient to dissolve them in line with the constitution.

“Moreover, the State House of Assembly today, screened and cleared members of the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC). The Commission is saddled with the responsibility of conducting Local Government election in the state.

“With the constitution of SIEC, processes leading to the Council Poll has kicked off in earnest.

“The administrative team members will always be members of the GYB family,” Fanwo disclosed.
