\/>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Edo State Government Executive Council has approved the implementation of a 1979 Law on local council administration, which translates to a new regime where all traditional rulers in the 18 local government areas of the state will receive monthly allowances to administer their domains.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement on Friday, Secretary to the Edo State Government, Osarodion Ogie, said the decision was reached at the Executive Council meeting, held at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/08\/07\/no-plot-to-impeach-deputy-governor-says-obaseki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Government House<\/a>, Benin City.<\/p>\n<p>Ogie said, \u201cThe Council resolved that there would be a traditional council in each local government area across the state\u2019s 18 local councils.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the law, the Oba of Benin remains the permanent chairman of the Edo State Traditional Council of Obas and Chiefs and also the permanent chairman of the Benin Traditional Council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Benin Traditional Council is the umbrella body of the Edo South Traditional Council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe allowance will enable the traditional rulers in the 18 LGAs to perform their statutory roles, such as ensuring social cohesion and peace, traditional vigilance and harmonious living across various communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThe Edo EXCO re-emphasized that the Omo N\u2019Oba N\u2019Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, remains the permanent chairman of the Edo State Traditional Council of Obas and Chiefs as well as permanent chairman of the umbrella council in Edo South Senatorial District.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also stressed that the budget and funding of the Benin Traditional Council will be completely independent of the financing which goes to all other traditional councils of the various local government areas in the State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Executive Council noted that with the development, the various traditional rulers across the local government areas will now be able to optimally perform their roles within their domains, working with other relevant stakeholders to maintain peace and order and accelerate grassroots development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new structure will also help to deepen governance in the grassroots, enable government to connect more with the people, get feedback on their needs, and also identify and support the poorest of the poor in local and hard-to-reach communities across the State.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Council resolved that there would be a traditional council in each local government area across the state\u2019s 18 local councils
