Kogi State State House of Assembly has extended the tenure of transition Committee Chairmen of the 21 Local Government Areas in the state.
The tenure, extended for another six months, followed a letter sent to the House by the State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.
In the letter, the governor asked the HouseHouse to extend its tenure due to the state’s financial situation and the huge resources required to conduct council polls.
