Kebbi Government sacks district heads, gives reason

The Kebbi State Government has terminated the appointment of the District Head of Sauwa, Alhaji Muhammad Tajudden-Sauwa, for insubordination.

The government also placed a six months suspension on the District Head of Guluma, Alhaji Muhammad Bashir-Guluma, for the same offence.

Alhaji Ahmed Idris, Chief Press Secretary to the Kebbi State Governor, disclosed this in a statement issued in Birnin Kebbi on Saturday.

Idris said a committee set up on January 31 by the Local Government Service Commission found the two local officials guilty of insubordination.

The committee was set up following complaint against the two district heads by Arugungu Local Government Council.

He said that the committee recommended the action taken by government in line with Public Services Rule 030301(0), which centered around acts of insubordination.

Idris said the termination and suspension of the district heads took effect from February 29, 2024.
