The committee’s report was ratified on Wednesday by the igala area traditional council headed by the Ejeh of Dekina Usman Obaje, currently the acting Ata Igala
It was learnt that the approval has been forwarded to the state Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, which will in turn forward it to the Governor for final confirmation. (Text, excluding headline, courtesy Daily Sun)
