The Ondo state House of Assembly on Thursday dissolved the caretaker committee for the eighteen local government areas of the state.
The dissolution was coming weeks after Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu denied alleged moves by some council chairmen to collect N20,000 as tenure extension fees from the supervisory councillors.
Akeredolu who frowned at the alleged moves by the council officials and described it as fraudulent revealed that the caretaker chairmen had no power to extend tenures.
The governor had in 2017 constituted caretaker committee for the local government areas after the sacking of the elected officials by a state high court.
Akeredolu , however had been extending their tenures, while in some council areas, new committee were constituted.
The speaker of the house, Bamidele Oloyeloogu who presided over the plenary directed all the affected chairmen to handover to the Director local government Administration in their respective council areas.
