Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has sacked the Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Dr Muhammad Tahar Adam, popularly known as “Baba Impossible.”
The Commissioner for information and Internal Affairs, Mallam Muhammad Garba, disclosed this in a statement, on Saturday.
He said the sack of the commissioner is with immediate effect.
“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,” Garba said.
Garba also said Adam was found to be running the affairs of his office as personal business and unilaterally reduced working days for the staff of the ministry, exempting Wednesdays and Fridays.
The commissioner added that apart from operating without due consultation, Adam has not been loyal to the government.
He disclosed that the governor had sent the name of Dr Nazifi Ishaq Bichi of Bayero University, Kano, to the House of Assembly as replacement.
The governor wished the sacked commissioner the best of luck in his future endeavours.
