A statement issued by State Chairman of the APC, Letep Dabang said the State Working Committee has resolved that in other to ensure gender parity, women must be considered for appointments into the recently elected Local Government administrations in the state.
According to Letep Dabang, it was resolved that not less than two women must be appointed as Supervisory Councilors and Special Advisers in each of the Local Governments across the state.
