Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has sacked two commissioners as part of a minor cabinet shake-up.

The affected commissioners are Mohammed Salis Gamawa, who was in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, Industries and Investment, and Dr Mohammed Lawal Rimin Zayam, the immediate past Commissioner for Education who was later redeployed to the Ministry of Power, Science and Technology.

The governor also accepted the resignation of the former Commissioner for Rural Development and Special Duties, Hon. Faruk Mustapha who recently dumped the Allied Peoples Movement, APM to join the All Progressive Congress, APC.

The changes were contained in a statement issued on Friday by the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mukhtar Gidado.

According to the statement, the governor has forwarded the names of nominees to replace the outgoing commissioners, alongside other nominees to fill vacancies created by the exit of some members of the State Executive Council, to the Bauchi State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation.

Governor Mohammed expressed appreciation to the affected officials for their contributions to the development of the state during their tenure.

He wished them success in their future endeavours , reaffirming his administration’s commitment to building a more responsive and result-oriented government for the people of Bauchi State.
