Abia State Government, led by Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, wishes to express profound appreciation to the elected local government officials whose tenure expired on the 28th of December, 2018.
As required by relevant state law, the Chairmen and other elected or appointed officials are expected to formally hand over to their respective Local Government Heads of Service who will temporarily see to the smooth operations of the local governments pending further announcement.
The Governor has also directed the Abia State Independent Electoral Commission to commence preparations for the conduct of new elections into the various positions within the local government system and advise on date and other requirements for the earliest conduct of the polls.
Thank you.
