El-Rufai Fires Council Chairmen, Chief Executives.

Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai, yesterday fired the 23
local government chairmen appointed by the previous administration in the
state.

A statement by the secretary to the state government, Balarabe Abbas Lawal,
said all political appointees, including chief executives that are not civil
servants, have also been relieved of their appointments with immediate effect.
The directive, he said, includes the sole administrators of all the 23 local
government areas, the secretaries of the development areas, special advisers
and assistants appointed by previous administrations.
The governor called for full compliance with the directive and also directed the
affected staff to hand over to the most senior officials of all parastatals and
agencies.
“Security agents and all public servants have been advised to treat any of the
affected persons who purports to still be in office as a trespasser indulging in
unauthorised entry,” the statement said.
