Edo Govt Cleans House: Heads of Local Gov't Administration Sent on Compulsory Leave

Habiba Sam 

The Edo State Government has directed the Heads of Local Government Administration (HoLGAs) across all 18 local government areas to proceed on compulsory leave, effective immediately. 

This decision was announced by the Chairman of the Edo State Local Government Service Commission, Alhaji Kabiru Adjoto, who explained that the move aims to revamp and reform the local government administration in the state.

According to Adjoto, the decision is part of the ongoing restructuring and revamping of the local government system, designed to strengthen administrative efficiency, promote accountability and transparency, and reposition the local government service for improved service delivery.

 The compulsory leave, he said, will enable a thorough assessment of administrative operations at the local government level, ensuring a fair and objective review of postings, staff deployment, and record management practices.

The Director of Administrative and General Services will take over and oversee the day-to-day administration of each local government pending further directives from the commission. All concerned officers have been directed to hand over properly and comply with the order without delay.

In a related development, the Akoko-Edo Head of Local Government Administration, Dr. Osaheni Igbinegie, and its Director of Finance have been placed on compulsory leave following an alleged petition leveled against them.

The Edo State Local Government Service Commission has also embarked on the digitization of its operations, with the Director of Budget Planning, Research, and Statistics, Osazee Obaizamomwan, revealing that about 382 shadow files were recovered and 138 retired files were still in the shelves, highlighting the need for the commission's digitization efforts. 

The commission has promised to pursue training and retraining of local government staff to enhance their performance.
