Saturday, January 4, 2025 - Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has dissolved the state executive council comprising his commissioners and he also sacked the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Barrister Muhammad Aliyu-Ubamdoma.
The announcement came during a special emergency meeting at the
Government House in Lafia.
This happened “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.”
The news was officially announced in a statement by Mohammed
Iliyasu-Idde, permanent secretary for cabinet affairs and special services.
The statement explained that “All the outgoing council members are to
hand over the affairs of their ministries and government property in their
possession to the permanent secretaries in their respective ministries while
the SSG is to hand over to the permanent secretary cabinet affairs and special
services.”
This change comes after the governor had nominated 17
commissioner-nominees to the Nasarawa State House of Assembly in July 2023 for
screening and confirmation. It’s worth noting that Sule had made similar
changes in 2021, citing “the need for a more effective and efficient governance
structure.”
