NLC strike forces ministry to postpone local govt stakeholders’ conference
The Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs has postponed its upcoming conference for stakeholders in local government administration due to what it called “unforeseen circumstances.”
The Minister of Special Duties, Zephaniah Jisalo, made the announcement in a statement by Head of Press and Public Relations in the ministry, Anastasia Ogbonna, on Wednesday in Abuja.
Mr Jisalo said he regretted the inconvenience caused by the postponement, adding that a new date would be communicated to all concerned.
He said, “The annual conference, which is usually for key stakeholders and government officials involved in local government administration, aims to address critical national issues with a view to extending effective governance to the grassroots.”
The ministry had earlier announced that the conference would be held from November 16 to 17, with the theme “The trajectory of local government administration in Nigeria and the institutional challenges.’’
