From Desmond Mgboh, Kano
Kano State Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Muhammad Tahar Adam has been relieved of his appointment as a member of the Kano State Executive Council.
Kano State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Muhammad Garba, disclosed this in a statement yesterday, stressing that the sack was with immediate effect.
The sack, the statement said, followed his unbecoming attitude as a public servant holding a sensitive office as well as his unguarded utterances in the public space.
The statement pointed out that he was also found to be running the affairs of his office as personal business and even unilaterally reducing working days for the staff of the ministry, exempting Wednesdays and Fridays.
The statement added that apart from operating without due consultation, he was disloyal to the government.
According to the statement Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has sent to the state House of Assembly the name of a nominee, Dr. Nazifi Ishaq Bichi of Bayero University, Kano as replacement for screening and appointment as new commissioner.
