According to a news report from Punch, the Kwara State government announced on Friday the dissolution of the Transitional Implementation Committees in the 16 local government councils, in preparation for the local government elections scheduled for September this year.

A statement signed by Mrs Modupe Adekeye, Permanent Secretary of the Kwara State Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs, and Community Development, indicated that the Directors of Personnel Management in each local government would assume administrative control of the councils. v“Directors of Personnel Management (DPM) are to take charge of the administration of the 16 local government areas of Kwara State until a new election is held in September.

“This effectively dissolves the Transition Implementation Committees (TICs) earlier appointed to manage the councils pending new local government elections.

“This development comes a few days after the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC) slated the next local council election for September 21, 2024”, the statement said.
