Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has said that the state government will enact a law to compel chairpersons of local government councils to live in their respective council areas.
Addressing guests at the event held in Government House, Uyo Governor Eno said the new council officials were familiar with the office, having served in the acting capacity before. “As heads of your respective councils, you are expected to lead in our determined effort to bring development to our rural areas. I expect that as local government chairpersons, you should begin to live in your local government areas because we are going towards a point where local government chairpersons and those who wish to be in that office will not live in Uyo.
“Because you are the chief security officer in your local government, we expect you to continue to work with your stakeholders – youths, women, elders to ensure the peace we enjoy in this state is maintained,” Mr Eno said.This is not the first time a governor of the state would appeal to council chairpersons to live in the local government areas so that they could stay close to the people who elected them.
