The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has recalled 12 local government council chairmen suspended last month by his administration.
The affected chairmen are those of Okrika, Emohua, Abua/Odual, Degema, Khana, and Gokana local government areas.
Others are Ahoada East, Ikwerre, Eleme, Andoni, Omuma and Ogu/Bolo.
An aide to Mr Wike had said the council chairmen were suspended because of their failure to participate in an official function.
