The Kano State Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Dr. Muhammad Tahar Adam (Baba Impossible) has been sacked by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
The state Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Malam Muhammad Garba, confirmed the development on Saturday.
He said the removal was with immediate effect.
Garba noted that the sacking of the commissioner and member of the state executive council followed his unbecoming attitude as a public servant holding sensitive office, as well as unguarded utterances.
He pointed out that the commissioner was also found to be running the affairs of his office as personal business and even unilaterally reducing working days for the staff of the ministry, exempting Wednesdays and Fridays.
The commissioner added that apart from operating without due consultation, ‘Baba Impossible’ has not been loyal to the government.
He announced further that already, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has sent to the state House of Assembly the name of a nominee in the person of Dr. Nazifi Ishaq Bichi of Bayero University, Kano as a replacement for screening and appointment as the new commissioner.
The governor, the statement added, wished the sacked commissioner the best of luck in his future endeavors.
