El-Rufai sacks Kaduna council chairmen

The Kaduna state Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, on Wednesday sacked the interim management committees of the 23 local government councils in the state.
The dissolution was announced in a government statement signed by El-Rufai’s Special Assistant Media and Publicity, Samuel Aruwan.
The statement explained that the decision was based on the expiration of the interim management committees’ six months term of office.
The statement read: “Malam Nasir El-Rufai, the Governor of Kaduna State, has therefore approved the dissolution of the interim management committees. The Governor also extended his profound appreciation to all the IMC members for their selfless and dedicated service to their local governments in particular, and Kaduna State in general.
“The Government has also directed each IMC to handover to the most senior director in their respective local governments, who will oversee the office of Chairman pending action by the honourable members of the House of Assembly.”
