Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has dissolved his cabinet, effective immediately, and directed Permanent Secretaries to take over the affairs of the ministries pending the inauguration of new commissioners.
The governor made this announcement during the weekly State Executive Council Meeting on Monday, warning the outgoing commissioners against lobbying for any position in the new cabinet.
“Don’t lobby anyone, no one can lobby me,” the governor stated. “As you leave here, please hand over to the Permanent Secretaries in your ministries.” Governor Bago assured that he will constitute a new cabinet within a week or two, having reviewed the performance of the outgoing commissioners, noting that while some performed well, others did not meet expectations.
