The Surulere Local Government Area of Lagos State has appointed the Vice Chairman, Sulaimon Yusuf, as the acting chairman of the council following the suspension of the substantive chairman, Tajudeen Ajide, for alleged N60m fraud.
This is according to a letter dated April 12, 2021 and signed by the nine councillors at the local government.
Ajide was last week suspended for alleged financial impropriety and spending N60m without budgetary approval.
In its resolution contained in a document, the councillors alleged that the chairman awarded all contracts to only two companies, a development which was described as suspicious.
They also accused Ajide of awarding bogus and inflated contracts, appropriating funds for the purchase of two buses without buying the vehicles.
