Imo state governor, Hope Uzodinma, has appointed 27 Interim Management Committee chairmen to take over the running of affairs of the local government areas pending local government elections in the state.
The appointment was made known to newsmen on Wednesday in Owerri, through the office of the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Cosmas Iwu.
Recall that the Imo state House of Assembly had a few days ago urged the governor to appoint the interim management committee so as to enable his policies and programmes to be taken to the grassroots especially at this time of fighting the battle against the COVID-19 virus in the state.
Apart from the chairmen, the governor also said that more appointments would be made at that local government level.
