Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani on Friday swore in the recently elected 23 Local Government Chairmen, advising them to distribute the dividends of democracy, equity without prejudice to political affiliation, gender, religious belief or ethnic background.
The Governor who spoke during the ceremony at the Council Chambers of Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna, enjoined the newly elected Chairmen to be transparent and accountable on the handling of public finances.
“You are taking charge as captains of local governments when the third tier of government has been granted financial autonomy.
“Your allocation from the Federation will be public knowledge, necessitating transparency and accountability. Be available, accessible, responsive and fair in your dealings”, he added.
Governor Sani said, local government chairmen are grassroots leaders who are closest to the people, “So they should be the the people voices, advocates and champions”
The Governor implored the chairmen to provide rural infrastructure, boost agriculture, build and upgrade health centers and primary schools, enhance economic and social services and ensure sustainable natural resources use.
The ceremony was attended by the Speaker House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, Ministry of Environment, Mallam Balarabe Abbas and Kaduna State House of Assembly Speaker, Yusuf Liman, among other dignitaries.
