Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has dismissed two commissioners from his cabinet and accepted the resignation of another as part of a cabinet reshuffle aimed at strengthening his administration.
The development was announced on Friday in a statement issued by the Governor's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mukhtar Gidado.
The commissioners relieved of their appointments are Mohammed Salis Gamawa, who served as Commissioner for Commerce, Industries and Investment, and Dr. Mohammed Lawal Rimin Zayam, who was Commissioner for Power, Science and Technology after previously overseeing the Ministry of Education.
Governor Mohammed also accepted the resignation of Hon. Faruk Mustapha, the former Commissioner for Rural Development and Special Duties. Mustapha recently defected from the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Following the changes, the governor has forwarded the names of new commissioner nominees and other appointees to the Bauchi State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation to fill the vacant positions in the State Executive Council.
Governor Mohammed expressed appreciation to the outgoing officials for their contributions to the development of Bauchi State during their time in office. He wished them success in their future endeavours and reaffirmed his administration's commitment to improving service delivery and meeting the needs of the people of the state.
