The Borno State House of Assembly (BOSHA) has in its sitting Thursday deliberated and passed the list of nomination of the 27 LGCs Chairmen and their Councilors earlier forwarded to the house by the executive for ratification and approval.
The Speaker, Alhaji Abdulrahman Lawan, who presided the sitting said the list of nomination of the LGCs Caretaker Committee Chairmen and Councillors was in line with the provision of the LGA Administration Law 2001 as amended and in the interest of the state which the house deemed it fit and necessary to approve the nominees to allow the local government administration work and bring government closer to the people at the grassroots.
He directed the Clerk of the house, Alhaji Ibrahim Audu Ngulde, to communicate to the executive the decision or resolution of the house immediately.
The new Caretaker LGCs Committee Chairmen for the 27 local government areas of Borno State approved by the house include:

It will be recalled that the LGCs Caretaker Committee Chairmen and Councillors have been dissolved few months ago by the State Commissioner for Local Government and Emirate Affairs, Alhaji Usman Zanna on the directive of the State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, at the expiry of their six months tenure as approved by the LGC Administration Law of the state pending the renomination if another Chairmen and Councillors or election of substantive LGC Chairmen and Councillors by the state government as provided.
Unfortunately, since Governor Kashim Shettima assumed office as the governor of the state more than six years ago, there has never been any election conducted for the LGCs Chairmen and Councillors as a result of the insecurity from the Boko Haram insurgency as most communities, towns and villages are still inaccessible by the security agencies and Civilian JTF which could not allow the displaced people to return to their host communities.
Previous general elections were conducted at the designated IDPs camps within and outside the state including those of the Presidency and national assembly under tight security by both the military, MOPOL, civil defence and civilian JTF.
