The governor also directed the state Commissioner for Local Government and Community Development, Alhaji Ahamed Muhammed Babura, to oversee the affairs of the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development.
Confirming the removal of the commissioner, the Secretary to the Jigawa State Government (SSG), Alhaji Abdulkadir Fanini said, “yes, the state Commissioner for Land, Housing and Urban Development, has been relieved of his duty ”.
Fanini, who refused to disclose the former commissioner’s offence, said “the governor relieved him of his duty. The governor has the power to appoint and relieve anybody ”.
The SSG said “the commissioner was given the removal letter on August 4.”
