Anambra State Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo has sworn in the new Transition Committee Chairmen (TCC) of the 21 local government areas of Anambra State.
The committee however pledged total support to the governor to ensure he actualises his vision in the state.
The committee chairmen made the pledge shortly after they were sworn in by Governor Soludo at the state executive council chambers, Government House, Awka.
Recall that the Governor recently sent the names of the 21 TCC and councillors to the state House of Assembly for consideration in fulfillment of Section 208 of the local government law 1999 as amended (number 6 law of 2012), whose tenure will be for three months.
The lawmakers also confirmed councillors in the 326 wards of the state.
It was gathered that during the session of their confirmation by the House of Assembly, two councillor-nominees in Ogbaru and Nnewi South LGA wards were not confirmed following alleged petitions in their nominations by their various stakeholders.
