Why I dissolved my cabinet – Governor Bago opens up

Governor Mohammed Bago of Niger State has attributed the dissolution of his cabinet to the outcome of a mid-term review of performance.

Governor Bago stated this while speaking with journalists shortly after the valedictory State Executive Council (SEC) meeting at the Government House, Minna.

The Governor said the decision became necessary because some officials exceeded the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) of the administration, while a few others did not.

Bago explained that it was also discovered that some have strength in other areas and that his administration needs to be rejigged to  bring about the desired growth and development in line with the mission and vision of the New Niger Agenda.

In a statement by Bologi Ibrahim, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Niger State, the Governor said some would be reappointed as cabinet members, and some would be given other portfolios to serve.

He reiterated his appreciation to them for all their contributions to his administration, saying they have collectively done well.

The Governor had earlier dissolved his cabinet and retained his Secretary to the state government (SSG), Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, and other principal officers.
