The newly sworn-in Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, has suspended all permanent secretaries, directors of finance and directors of accounts in various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the state. The governor made the announcement yesterday monday 15th february.
According to Premium Times, sources in the state said the governor’s decision was aimed at “removing dead woods” considered as stumbling block to ensuring accountability and prudent management of public resources.
A few days after his inauguration, Mr. Bello ordered the immediate reinstatement of all local government chairmen sacked in the twilight of the administration of immediate-past governor, Idris Wada, something a lot of people have applauded.
