By Members of the Oyo State House of Assembly have suspended five Local Government Area (LGA) caretaker chairmen and eight Local Council Development Area (LCDA) chairmen in the state indefinitely.
The decision to suspend the local government bosses was taken on Monday after a prolonged meeting by the lawmakers.
According to the legislative arm, the suspended persons were sanctioned for failing to meet the deadline for the submission of a report on the state of earth-moving equipment in their respective councils.
The deadline for submission of the report was October 23, 2020.
Speaker of the House, Adebo Ogundoyin, who presided over the meeting claimed that the affected caretaker chairmen displayed gross incompetence by their failure to produce what he termed a simple report.
He explained that the action of the assembly was in line with the provision of Section 21 of the Local Government Law of the state.
