News Update

Caleb Mutfwang, governor of Plateau state, has sacked six of his appointees and suspended one.

NAN reports that Samuel Jatau, secretary to the state government (SSG), announced the decision in a statement issued on Tuesday.

Jatau said the move was part of the government’s efforts towards repositioning the state for greater efficiency and effective service delivery.

The affected officials include Timothy Golu, special adviser to the governor on strategic communication; Fom Gwottson, liaison officer for Jos south; Nanbol Rimvyat and Nannim Langyi, liaison officers for Langtang north.

Others are Paul Datugum and Nimchat Rims, the liaison officers for Qua’an Pan and Langtang south, respectively.

The governor also suspended Johnbull Shekarau, chairman of the house of assembly service commission in the state, over alleged conduct that negates the standards of his office.

The SSG, who did not state why the six appointees were sacked, directed them to hand over all government properties in their possession to the appropriate quarters.

Jatau said the governor, who thanked the affected persons for their contributions to his administration, wished them success in their future endeavours.
