Post created on 2:40 pm

Niger Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has dissolved his cabinet asking the Permanent Secretaries to take over affairs of the ministries pending when new commissioners will be inaugurated.

He dissolved the cabinet on Monday during the weekly State Executive Council Meeting warning the outgone commissioners against lobbying anyone for any position.

“Don’t lobby anyone, no one can lobby me. As you leave here, please hand over to the Permanent Secretaries in your ministries,” he stated.

Bago assured that in a week or two, he will constitute a new cabinet, adding that he has reviewed everyone’s performance.

He said while some performed well, others did not perform very well.
