Ganduje sacks Kano commissioner over ‘unguarded utterances’

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has sacked the state Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Dr. Muhammad Tahar Adam.

This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the Kano State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Muhammad Garba.

Garba, who said the removal was with immediate effect, noted that Adam has been replaced with Dr. Nazifi Bichi.

He said the sacking of the commissioner and member of the state executive council followed his unbecoming attitude as a public servant holding sensitive office as well as unguarded utterances.

Garba stated that he was also found to be running the affairs of his office as personal business and unilaterally reducing working days for the staff of the ministry, exempting Wednesdays and Fridays.

The commissioner added that apart from operating without due consultation, Adam has not been loyal to the government.

He said Governor Ganduje has sent the name of Bichi from Bayero University to the Kano State House of Assembly as a replacement for screening and appointment as the new commissioner.

The governor, however, wished the sacked commissioner the best of luck in his future endeavours.
