Kwara Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has extended suspension of the executive and legislative council committees across the 16 local government areas of the state.
“The governor has today signed the Kwara State Local Government Councils’ (Suspension) Order 2020 which extends the subsisting suspension of the executive and legislative committees by six months.
