Malam Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, has sacked all the sole administrators and secretaries of development areas in the 23 local government councils in the state.
El-Rufai announced their removal from office on Wednesday through a statement signed by Secretary to the
State Government, Balarabe Abbas Lawal, and made available to journalists in Kaduna.
The governor explained that the sack also affects all those appointed by the last administration into the boards of agencies run by the state government.
“The Kaduna State government hereby restates that the boards of all agencies stand dissolved,” the statement said.
It added that also, “All political appointees, including chief executives that are not civil servants, have also been relieved of their appointments with immediate effect.
“This includes sole administrators of all the 23 local government areas, and secretaries of the development areas appointed by previous administrations. Special advisers and assistants are also affected by this directive.”
El-Rufai directed a full compliance with the order, adding that “the most senior officials of all parastatals and agencies should take charge until further instructions are issued.”
He advised “security agents and all public servants” to treat “any of the affected persons who purports to still be in office as trespasser.”
