Gbudue state authorities dissolve all unions and associations

The acting state governor Jackson Ezekiel Buguwa issued the order, which has now affect youth unions, the women union and chamber of commerce in the state.

The order issued on Wednesday also gave responsibility to the minister of education, gender and child welfare to start the new process of registering unions and associations.
