BREAKING: Babagana Umara Zulum Fires All Commissioners, Dissolves Borno Executive Council

Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State has dissolved the State Executive Council and relieved all commissioners of their duties with immediate effect.

The development, which was confirmed on Monday, brings an abrupt end to the current cabinet, as all political appointees serving as commissioners have been directed to hand over the affairs of their ministries to permanent secretaries.

Although the government has yet to officially disclose the reasons behind the sweeping decision, the move is seen as a significant step that could pave the way for a cabinet reshuffle or the formation of a new executive team.

In Nigeria, state governors possess the constitutional authority to appoint and dissolve members of the executive council, which serves as the highest policy-making body at the state level.

As of the time of filing this report, further details regarding possible reappointments or the composition of a new cabinet remain unclear.
