The newly appointed Caretaker Committee Chairmen for the 23 Local Government Areas of Rivers State have assumed duties, following their swearing-in and the dissolution of all standing committees in their respective councils.
The chairmen also dissolved all task forces set up by the ousted council chairmen, even as they pledged to pay all outstanding salaries owed to their predecessors.
Recall that Governor Siminalayi Fubara inaugurated the chairmen on Wednesday at the Government House, urging them to promote peace and allowing them to work from any location temporarily.
