Bagudu commended the LG managers for their service to the state, assuring them that the government would utilize their experiences if the need arises.
He said, “The government will consequently appoint acting caretaker leaders from among appointed councillors of various local government councils.
Four of the local government sole administrators, including those of Arewa, Kalgo, Koko Besse and Fakai local government councils are to continue in office because their tenure has not yet expired.
