Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, has urged the newly elected chairmen of 13 Local Government Areas of the state to be transparent and accountable in discharging their duties.
Speaking at their swearing-in ceremony on Monday in Lafia, Sule urged them to execute projects and programmes that would have direct bearing on the lives of the people.
“You are to embrace transparency, accountability, probity and above all prudence in the management of public resources.
“I want to congratulate the elected Chairmen and 147 Councillors for your emergence.
” Your emergence is a reflection of confidence that the electorate reposed in you.
“I call on you to justify the confidence reposed in you by turning around the fortunes of your respective local government areas,” the governor said.
Sule also commended security agencies for maintaining peace before, during and after the election in the state.
Responding on behalf of the chairmen, Mr Mohammed Haliru, the chairman of Lafia, pledged their commitment to good governance.
He thanked the electorate for electing them, and promised that they would deliver as promised.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that All Progressives Congress (APC) won in all the 13 LGAs in Nasara.
