The newly inaugurated caretaker chairmen of local government areas in Rivers State have begun swearing in members of their committees.
This development comes a day after Governor Sim Fubara inaugurated the caretaker committee chairmen.
Recall that the governor on Wednesday charged them to operate from any location to prevent further breakdown of law and order in the state.
In Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, where Chijioke Ihunwo, Chairman of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, is the chairman, the swearing-in ceremony is currently underway at a public facility in the LGA. Similar events are taking place across other local government areas in the South-South state.
Governor Fubara’s directive to the caretaker chairmen to operate from alternative locations came after security operatives took over some LGA secretariats.
