Abdullahi Ganduje, Kano governor, has sacked Tahar Adam, the
state’s commissioner for religious affairs, over “unguarded utterances”.
According to a statement on Saturday by Muhammad Garba, Kano
commissioner for information and internal affairs, the commissioner was also
found guilty of running the affairs of his office as personal business.
The information commissioner said the removal was with
immediate effect.
Garba said the state governor has already forwarded the name
of Nazifi Ishaq Bichi to the house of assembly as a replacement.
Garba said Adam’s sack from the office followed his
unbecoming attitude as a public servant holding sensitive office.
Adam was also said to have “unilaterally reduced working
days for the staff of the ministry, exempting Wednesdays and Fridays”.
Garba added that apart from operating without due
consultation, the sacked commissioner was not loyal to the state government.
“Governor Abdullahi
Umar Ganduje has sent to the state House of Assembly the name of a nominee in
person of Dr. Nazifi Ishaq Bichi of Bayero University, Kano, as a replacement
for screening and appointment as the new commissioner,” the statement reads.
“The governor, the statement added, wished the sacked
commissioner the best of luck in his future endeavours.”
