Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has dismissed two members of his cabinet as part of a recent administrative restructuring. The individuals removed from their positions are Mohammed Salis Gamawa, formerly the Commissioner for Commerce, Industries and Investment, and Dr. Mohammed Lawal Rimin Zayam, who most recently served as the Commissioner for Power, Science and Technology.
Furthermore, the governor has formally accepted the resignation of Hon. Faruk Mustapha, the former Commissioner for Rural Development and Special Duties. Mustapha recently transitioned from the Allied Peoples Movement to the All Progressive Congress.
These updates were confirmed on Friday via an official release from Mukhtar Gidado, the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity. The administration has already submitted a list of new nominees to the Bauchi State House of Assembly to undergo the necessary screening and confirmation process to fill these vacancies and other existing openings within the State Executive Council.
Governor Mohammed thanked the departing officials for their service to the state. He also offered his best wishes for their future activities while emphasizing his administration’s dedication to maintaining a functional and effective government for all residents of Bauchi.
