In a letter signed by the Head of Service, Kogi State Government, Mrs Deborah Ogunmola, the affected official was directed to respond within 24 hours to explain himself on why disciplinary action should not be taken for gross misconduct.
The Head of Service stated that the concerned official on November 9, 2020, signed a letter addressed to the Chairman, Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria (AMBCN) Kogi State branch on the subject of introducing an identified consulting company and levies on bread to all bakers and caterers doing business in and across the state.
