Zamfara State Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle has dissolved the State Executive Council and relieved principal political appointees of their jobs with immediate effect.
Matawalle announced the dissolution in a statement by his media aide, Zailani Bappa.
Among those sacked were the Secretary to the State Government, the Chief of Staff and the Deputy Chief of Staff.
All Chairmen and members of state Commissions and Boards of various agencies were also sacked.
However, the dissolution does not affect Commissions provided for by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The Head of Service would oversee the Office of the Secretary to the State Government,” the statement read.
The governor also suspended the Emir of Dansadau, Alhaji Hussaini Umar with immediate effect, and approved that the District Head of Dansadau, Alhaji Nasiru Muhammad S/Kudu, oversees the affairs of the emirate.
Matawalle also suspended with immediate effect the District Head of Nasarawa Mailayi, Alhaji Bello Wakkala, and constituted a committee to investigate the activities of the suspended traditional title holders of Dansadau.
