In a bold political move, the Governor of Niger State, Umaru Mohammed Bago, has approved the immediate dissolution of all commissioners and senior political appointees in the state.
The announcement, made public via the official X handle of Nigerian Stories, marks a sweeping shake-up in the state’s executive council, signaling the governor’s intent to restructure his administration and inject fresh energy into governance.
While details of the decision remain scanty, political observers say the move is aimed at repositioning Niger State’s leadership machinery to align with Bago’s development blueprint and reform agenda.
The governor, who has repeatedly emphasized accountability, innovation, and results-driven governance, is expected to announce a new crop of appointees in the coming days.
This development has already sparked wide reactions within political circles, with speculations rife about those likely to make the governor’s new list.
