Waec Model Questions Vol1 2018 Government Question 36
Practice objective / multiple choice question 36 from the 2018 Waec Model Questions Vol1 Government examination.
A state has 12 local government areas (LGAs). Each LGA must contain at least 3 wards, and each ward elects 2 councillors. The state council also includes 5 ex‑officio members (the governor, the speaker, the chief judge, the commissioner of finance and the commissioner of works). For the council to make decisions by simple majority, the total number of members must be an odd number, and to allow equal representation in three standing committees the total number of members must be divisible by 3. What is the minimum possible total number of councillors (excluding the ex‑officio members) that satisfies all the conditions?
