They were inaugurated yesterday by the Deputy Governor, Prof Modupe Adeola Adelabu, at Jibowu Hall, Government House Ground.

The deputy governor urged the council helmsmen to give priority to the 8-Point Agenda of the state government in the discharge of their duties. Prof. Adelabu, who commended the caretaker chairmen for their feats in the past six months, urged them to see their re-appointment as a renewed call to service, saying they should imbibe the spirit of transparency, accountability and probity, which she noted have been the hallmarks of the Governor Kayode Fayemi administration.

The deputy governor government will continue to embark on programmes aimed at improving the welfare of the people and launch the state to enviable pedestal.
