Ortom Warns LG Chairmen Against Financial Impropriety

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has urged the 23 elected local government chairmen on transparent utilization of funds in order to improve on their Internally Generated Revenue to cope with the challenges occasioned by the economic recession.

Ortom gave the charge at a 2-day management training on technical and administrative competence in the state.

He urged them to live above board, noting that a single act of financial indiscretion could lead to difficult times for the people whose safety and welfare is top priority.

The governor also advised the LG Chairmen to look inward in the face of the recession as looking up to the state and federal government, which have their own challenges, could amount to a waste of time, if they do not add value themselves.
