Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, will Monday inaugurate the caretaker chairmen for the 33 local governments of the state at the Executive Chambers of the Governor’s Office.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Communication and Strategy, Mr. Yomi Layinka, who said the event will take place by noon.

Three weeks ago, Governor Ajimobi submitted the names of the 33 nominees comprising returnees and fresh faces to the Oyo State House of Assembly for screening.

The state Assembly had screened and cleared the last batch of the nominees on Friday, 26 February, thus paving the way for Monday’s inauguration.

Chairman, House Committee on Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs and State Honours, Hon Bolaji Badmos, representing Akinyele Constituency II, had given the 33 nominees the green light after their appearance before the committee.
