The Rivers State House of Assembly on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, will screen and confirm the Chairmen and members of the Caretaker Committees for the 23 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the State.
The screening and confirmation exercise is scheduled to take place at the Hallowed Chamber of the Rivers State House of Assembly at 8:00 am.
This development comes as part of the efforts of the Rivers State Government to reconstitute the caretaker committees in the state, following the expiration of the tenure of the previous executives.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had earlier appointed caretaker committees for the states, local governments, and wards, which took effect in Rivers State on March 21, 2024, at the state level, March 18, 2024, at the local government level, and March 14, 2024, at the ward level.
The screening and confirmation exercise is expected to be a formality, as the party has already approved the appointment of the caretaker committees. However, it is a necessary step to ensure that the chairmen and members of the caretaker committees are properly vetted and confirmed before they can assume their duties.
