As the situation unfolds, citizens of Nasarawa State await further clarification on the implications of this decision and the future direction of the state’s administration
Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has dissolved the state executive council comprising his commissioners and sacked Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Barrister Muhammad Aliyu-Ubamdoma.
The decision was announced by the governor at a special emergency executive meeting in Government House, Lafia, on Friday, shortly after the departure of Vice President Kashim Shetima, who was in the state for a one-day working visit to inaugurate some projects in the state.
A top government official, who preferred anonymity, told our correspondent that although the exact reasons for the dissolution were not yet clear, he said the governor was known for restructuring the state’s administration.
Our correspondent reports that in 2021, Sule dissolved the state executive council, citing the need for a more effective and efficient governance structure.
“As the situation unfolds, citizens of Nasarawa State await further clarification on the implications of this decision and the future direction of the state’s administration,” the source added.
Meanwhile, a statement signed by Mohammed Iliyasu-Idde, permanent secretary cabinet affairs and special services, said Governor Sule expressed his gratitude to the outgoing council members for their contributions towards the growth of the state and wished them well in their future endeavours.
