Nine months after the suspension of the chairman of Port Harcourt City Local Government Hon. Victor Ihunwo in Rivers state the Rivers State Governor, Wike Onyesom have lifted his suspension.
Wike had suspended Mr Ihunwo over illegal tax collection, even as the Association of Local Government of Nigeria in the State had appealed to the governor to recall its member.
The governor lifted the suspension in a statement signed Monday by Secretary to the Rivers State Government (SSG), Tammy Danagogo.
The SSG’s statement stated that, “The Chairman is to resume normal duties immediately, and has been strictly warned to abide by all the rules governing local government administration.
“He is further warned to desist from engaging in all forms of illegal or double taxation or any other acts against public interest.”
