Bayelsa State Government has announced that elected Local Government Council Chairmen and Councilors in the State would be paid their severance packages at the end of their tenure.

The State Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, stated this when the Chairmen, Commissioners and Permanent Secretary of the Local Government Service Commission paid him a visit in Government House, Yenagoa.

Ewhrudjakpo assured them that elected Chairmen and Councilors would receive their full severance entitlements upon the completion of their three-year term in office.

The Deputy Governor noted that none of the Councils would hand over with a deficit balance, due to the financial prudence template introduced by the Prosperity Administration to manage the funds of the Councils.
