Abdullahi Sule, has dismissed Barrister Muhammad Aliyu-Ubamdoma as Secretary to the State Government (SSG) and disbanded the state executive council, which included all his commissioners.

The action was taken only moments after the departure of Vice President Kashim Shetima from the state on Friday following a one-day working visit to launch various projects.

The governor then called a special emergency executive meeting in Government House, Lafia, and announced his decision to the council.

Although the precise grounds for the dissolution were not yet known, it is known that the governor has a penchant for sudden restructuring of his cabinet.

In 2021, Gov. Sule disbanded the state executive council, stating that a more effective and efficient government system was required.

Meanwhile, a statement signed by Mohammed Iliyasu-Idde, permanent secretary of cabinet affairs and special services, said Governor Sule expressed his gratitude to the outgoing council members for their contributions towards the growth of the state and wished them well in their future endeavours.

The statement read in part, “All the outgoing council members are to hand over the affairs of their ministries and government property in their possession to the permanent secretaries in their respective ministries while the SSG is to hand over to the permanent secretary cabinet affairs and special services.”

Gov. Sule is in his second term as governor, from 2015, having won reelection in 2023.

In July 2023, he submitted the names of 17 commissioner-nominees to the Nasarawa State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation as members of the State Executive Council.

Prior to joining politics, Mr. Abdullahi Sule was the CEO of African Petroleum, one of Nigeria’s large oil retailing outlets.
