GOVERNOR MATAWALLE SACKS ALL COMMISSIONERS AND POLITICAL APPOINTEES IN ZAMFARA
Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, has sacked all Commissioners and other political appointees in Zamfara State.
In a statement by Zailani Bappa, the media aide to the Governor, the Secretary to the State Government, the Chief of Staff, and the Deputy Chief of Staff were all sacked.
Also sacked were all chairmen and members of the state commissions and boards of various agencies. The Governor also suspended the Emir of Dansadau, Hussaini Umar, and the district head of Nasarawa Mailayi, Bello Wakkala, with immediate effect.
Governor Matawalle further directed the Dansadau district head, Nasiru Muhammad, to oversee the affairs of the emirate.
Governor Matawalle however said the “dissolution does not affect commissions provided for by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria” just as he ordered commissioners to hand over affairs to permanent secretaries.
“In view of this directive, all honourable commissioners would hand over affairs of their ministries to their respective permanent secretaries, except Ministry of Security and Home Affairs, which will be overseen by Rtd (sic) DIG Mohammed Ibrahim Tsafe.
“Chairman of commissions and boards are hereby directed to hand over to their most senior directors. The head of service will oversee the office of the secretary to the State Government,” the reads.
