Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, has disengaged 19
political appointees in an effort to “rightsize” the state’s public service.
A statement issued by the Kaduna government on Wednesday
said this is the first phase of the rightsizing exercise at the executive
level.
The governor has been at loggerheads with the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) over the state’s government resolve to disengage 4,000 workers
across the 23 LGAs in the state.
The workers went on a warning strike but suspended the
action after the federal government intervened, following a request for
negotiations.
The statement said a deputy chief of staff and two special
advisers are among the 19 appointees disengaged by the governor.
Bala Yunusa Mohammed, the deputy chief of legislative staff
(DCOSL), Halima Musa Nagogo, special assistant to DCOSL, and Umar Abubakar,
special assistant to DCOSL, were affected.
“Malam Nasir El-Rufai has thanked the departing officials
for their services to the state and wished them well in their future
endeavours,” the statement said.
Ben Kure, special adviser political, was also disengaged.
”Mustapha Lynda Nyusha, Umar Haruna and Jamilu Gwarzala Dan
Mutum, special assistants to Kure, will exit the service,” the statement said.
”Zainab Shehu, special adviser social development; Stephen
Hezron, special assistant to Shehu; Mohammed Bello Shuaibu, senior special
assistant stakeholders relations; and Aliyu Haruna, senior special assistant on
youth, were also not spared in the move to rightsize the state’s public
service.
“Also on the list are Halima Idris, special assistant
creative arts, Engr Aliyu Alhaji Salihu, director-general of public procurement
authority, special assistant community relations, Ashiru Zuntu, and Saida
Sa’ad, a senior special assistant,” it read.
“Special assistant programmes, Elias Yahaya, and special
assistant to the secretary to Kaduna state government; Tasiu Suleiman Yakaii,
are on the list, [as well as] the special assistant on economic matters, Samuel
Hadwayah, and Ahmed Mohammed Gero, senior special assistant environment.”
