Gov Sule Dissolves Nasarawa Executive Council
Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has dissolved the state’s Executive Council.
The announcement was made during an executive council meeting on Friday, January 3, 2025.
Governor Sule expressed his gratitude to the outgoing commissioners and the Secretary to the Government of Nasarawa State (SSG) for their service to the administration and the people of the state.
He wished them success in their future endeavors.
The outgoing commissioners have been instructed to hand over the affairs of their ministries and all government assets in their possession to the respective permanent secretaries. Similarly, the outgoing SSG is to hand over to the Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Affairs and Special Services.
A senior government official, speaking anonymously, noted that while the specific reasons for the dissolution remain unclear, Governor Sule is known for restructuring the state’s administration.
In 2021, a similar dissolution occurred, with the governor citing the need for a more efficient governance structure.
In a statement signed by Mohammed Iliyasu-Idde, Permanent Secretary of Cabinet Affairs and Special Services, Governor Sule thanked the outgoing council members for their contributions to the state’s development and reiterated his good wishes for their future endeavors.
“As the situation unfolds, citizens of Nasarawa State await further clarification on the implications of this decision and the future direction of the state’s administration,” the source added.
