”Today, I’m very proud to inaugurate these chairmen with good conscience; they are the first of chairmen coming under local government autonomy.
”I’m a strong advocate and supporter of local government autonomy, so, I’m committed to ensuring that the local government system becomes stronger and very effective.
”I welcome you on board to join me in giving the Plateau people quality leadership,”he said.
The governor, who promised to support the chairmen to succeed in bringing good governance to the rural people, however, charged them to be accountable and transparent.
