Kaduna State government has called on the local government legislative to build synergy with the executives of their respective Local governments.

The Acting Governor of the State, Hadiza Balarabe made the call at the closing of a three-day retreat for the legislative arm of the local government held in Kaduna.

She said the workshop aimed to ensure accountability between the legislative and the executive arm of government at the grassroots level.

She, therefore, assured that the retreat would help the councillors to be better legislatures.

In his welcome address, the Commissioner, Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Usman Makarfi said the retreat recorded over ninety-nine per cent attendance.

He said there was a need to invite the councillors in batches to attend plenary season at the State House of Assembly to increase their knowledge on the area of responsibility.

The retreat with the theme; ‘Repositioning the Legislative Arm of the Local Government for Optimal Service Delivery’, was organised by the Ministry of Local Government to acquaint councillors of their responsibilities.
