Kebbi Gov to fire underperforming commissioners, aides

Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State has vowed to fire Commissioners and Special Advisers who perform below the expectations of the government and their people.

He made the disclosure while assenting to the 2025 Budget Bill at Government House, Birnin Kebbi on Friday.

Recall that the Governor had on December 21  presented the proposed 2025 budget to the State House of Assembly for deliberation and subsequent passage.

The governor warned the members of his cabinet that he would do a broadcast by the end of two years of his administration.

He said: “Every commissioner and special adviser must be with his people and only those who perform well and carry their people along would remain.

“Therefore, I urge you to adjust, tighten your belts, go close to your people, listen to their plights and assist them where necessary.”

Speaking on the budget,  Idris said that history was made again, saying,” last year, we were here for a similar exercise.

”I must commend the lawmakers for a job well done, this is a clear sign that you have Kebbi people in your hearts.

“I am the happiest person today, being the leader because we brought a budget that will add value to the lives of Kebbi people.”
