The statement added that the 57 sole administrators after being sworn-in would take charge of their various councils pending the conduct of local government election in the state.
It would be recalled that Ambode had last Thursday approved the immediate dissolution of local government caretaker committees following the resolution of the Lagos State House of Assembly relieving the executive secretaries of the 57 local government councils and local council development areas in the state of their responsibilities.
The governor also directed the executive secretaries to hand over the reins of administration to the head of administration in each of the council areas.
