The newly elected chairmen of the 18 Local Government Areas in Ondo State will officially assume office on February 10, 2025, following a brief delay due to the funeral rites of the late former Secretary to the State Government, Hon. Temitayo Oluwatuyi, scheduled for early February.
Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa confirmed the new inauguration date during a meeting with top government officials to finalize arrangements. He expressed the administration’s commitment to ensuring a seamless transition and urged the new chairmen to prioritize effective governance in their respective councils.
The state government had initially planned for an earlier swearing-in but postponed the event to accommodate the funeral activities, honoring Hon. Oluwatuyi’s contributions to Ondo State’s development.
As preparations intensify, political stakeholders and residents anticipate that the new leadership at the grassroots level will address pressing local issues and enhance governance across the state.
Further details regarding the inauguration ceremony are expected to be announced in the coming days.
