Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra state has forwarded to the state House of Assembly for consideration a list of nominees for Transition Committee chairmen of the twenty one local government areas of the state.
This is coming in the face of persistent calls and demand by civil society organizations, stake holders and other non-state actors, for the conduct of local government elections in the state.
The list contains fourteen new names while six former transition committee chairmen are to be retained.
The Speaker, Anambra House Assembly, Somtochukwu Udeze, after reading the letter at plenary on Wednesday referred it to the Chairman Screening Committee, who is also the deputy speaker, Chukwuma Okoye for further legislative action.
