Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, on Monday announced the dissolution of the State Executive Council, bringing to an end the tenure of his commissioners and other cabinet members.
The decision was made public during the State Executive Council (SEC) meeting held at the Council Chamber in Minna.
Governor Bago, popularly known as the “Farmer Governor,” expressed appreciation to the outgoing commissioners and appointees for their service and contributions to the development of the state since his assumption of office.
He wished them success in their future endeavours.
However, the Governor clarified that the dissolution does not affect all government officials.
He retained his Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, and other principal officers in the Governor’s office, who are expected to continue in their roles.
The announcement, contained in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, marks a significant restructuring in the administration as Bago moves into the next phase of his governance agenda.
Details regarding the appointment of new cabinet members are expected to be announced in the coming days.
