Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano has sacked the Chairman, state NNPC/AKK Gas Pipeline Project and Gas Industrialisation Committee (KNSG-PDIC), Engr. Mu’azu Magaji Dansarauniya.

His sack, according to Ganduje, was informed by his inability to measure up with the challenging job, poor performance and insubordination.

Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, in a statement made available to The Star, said Magaji was appointed in April 2020 to chair the committee with the hope that he would work diligently to supervising the effective execution of the project.

However, Garba added, he has failed to live above board in carrying out the responsibility assigned to him to oversee the project which the government attaches great premium.

According to him, Magaji’s leadership of the committee, which is to among other things, coordinate in close partnership with the NNPC on timely implementation of the project has not been forthcoming in working to achieve the desired objective.

The sacked chairman was asked to hand over the affairs of the committee to the Deputy Executive Chairman, Aminu Babba Dan‘Agundi, Sarkin Dawaki Babba.

Governor Ganduje thanked him for serving and wish him success in his future endeavour.
