Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El Rufai has sacked over 90 of
his political appointees.
El-Rufai said his administration will reduce the size of
civil servants in the state but maintained that government appointees will go
first.
The Governor stated this at a media chat with journalists in
Kaduna on Thursday night, explaining that the disengaged political appointees
constitute 30% of political officeholders.
‘’So far, 99 political appointees have lost their jobs but
we have not commenced rightsizing civil servants,” the governor said.
“We want to be fair with regards to civil servants. We had
earlier promised that before we reduce the size of the civil service, we will
start with political appointees and we have done that.”
Speaking in Hausa, El-Rufai said the rightsizing of civil
servants will still go on as planned because of dwindling revenues that is
accruing to the state government from the federation account.
He said the rightsizing started with political appointees
because their details are clearly known, making it more straightforward to
disengage them.
‘’However, civil servants with question marks on the veracity of their data have to be given a chance to clear the doubts before any action is taken on them,’’ he clarified.
