Kebbi State Assembly Amends Local Government Law, Extends Tenure of Elected Officials
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

The Kebbi State House of Assembly has recently enacted two important laws that bring significant changes to the state’s local government system. These new laws, which were passed unanimously, aim to enhance the stability and efficiency of local governance in Kebbi State.

The first law extends the term length for elected local government chairmen and councilors from two years to three years. This change is intended to provide greater stability and continuity in local government administration.

According to Hon. Muhammad Dangoje, who presented the bill, this extension will allow local council members more time to implement long-term development projects and initiatives. The goal is to enable these officials to focus on meaningful and sustained improvements in their communities without the frequent disruption of elections.

Hon. Dangoje, speaking to journalists after the passage of the bills, highlighted that the amendment to the Kebbi State Local Government Law of 2008 is designed to strengthen local governance by giving council members a more substantial period to carry out their responsibilities.

He emphasized that this adjustment will foster more effective and progressive local governance, allowing for better planning and execution of community projects.

The second law introduces the Kebbi State Local Government Service Commission, which replaces the previous Kebbi State Local Government Service Board. This new commission will have the responsibility of overseeing the management and administration of local government staff. It is set to ensure that local government employees work with professionalism and efficiency, which is crucial for improving service delivery to the public.

The establishment of the Local Government Service Commission is a significant step towards modernizing the management of local government staff. The new commission will focus on maintaining high standards of service and ensuring that the staff are well-trained and capable of meeting the demands of their roles. The reorganization aims to address any inefficiencies and ensure that local government operations are more effective and transparent.

The passage of these laws was completed on the floor of the House in Birnin Kebbi, where the bills went through their third reading and were approved with full consensus. Hon. Muhammad Abubakar, who presented the second bill, supported the changes, highlighting the benefits of having a dedicated commission to manage local government personnel and enhance the overall functioning of the local government system.

Overall, these legislative changes reflect the state’s commitment to improving local governance and ensuring that local officials have the tools and time needed to effectively serve their communities. The new laws are expected to bring about positive changes in how local governments operate and interact with residents, ultimately leading to better governance and development in Kebbi State.
