Benue State House of Assembly has amended the 2007 Local Government, LG, Act and approved a three-year tenure for LG elected officials.
The amendment of the 2007 LG law took place on Friday, a few hours before local government elections slated for Saturday.
The house, presided over by the Speaker, Hyacinth Dajoh, unanimously agreed that the LG law be amended after clause-to-clause consideration of the bill.
It, therefore, expunged the existing two-year tenure, which was in the former law in sections 13(2) and 27(3), and substituted it with three-year tenure.
Ruling after the legislative processes, Dajoh agreed that the amendment was necessary to allow the chairmen enough time to develop their areas.
The bill has been sent to the governor for his assent.
