The renaming of Tertiary institution are hereby nullified, the old institutions are to revert to their initial names
By Saudi Idris
365Daily – The newly inaugurated administration of Governor Ahmad Aliyu of Sokoto state, appears to have started on an acrimonious note over the policies of the outgone government of former Governor Aminu Tambuwal, as it has announced the reversal of a number of the decisions and actions of Tambuwal’s government.
There has been no love lost between the new All Progressives Congress (APC) government and its Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led predecessor, which played out on the inauguration day, as the former Governor shunned the handover ceremony on Monday.
The governorship election that brought in the current government and even the Senatorial election that the former Governor won with a slim margin, were keenly contested and no less acrimonious.
As part of his first official pronouncements after being sworn in as Governor of Sokoto state, Aliyu, announced the reversal of Tambuwal’s last actions as governor and they included the following decisions, as announced in a statement on Tuesday by Abubakar Bawa, Chief Press Secretary to Sokoto State Governor.
1. All Appointment into state Civil Service after March 19th 2023 are hereby nullified.
2. All traditional title appointment are hereby suspended pending investigation in the public interest.
3. The renaming of Tertiary institution are hereby nullified, the old institutions are to revert to their initial names.

5. All Governing Board Parastatals other than statutory board are hereby dissolved.
6. Alla recent auction of Government properties are hereby suspended to be revisited in due course.
