Governor Nasir Idris reinstated the animal health commissioner, Kabir Alaramma, on Monday, effective immediately.

Information commissioner Yakubu Ahmed-BK disclosed this while briefing journalists shortly after the State Executive Council meeting presided over by the governor at the Government House, Birnin Kebbi.

Mr Ahmed-BK said the governor directed the immediate lifting of Mr Alaramma’s suspension and his reinstatement to office. He said the reinstated commissioner was directed to resume official duties without delay.

“Consequently, he has been reinstated to his position and is hereby directed to resume his official duties with immediate effect,” he said.

Mr Alaramma was suspended from office on June 24 alongside the Kebbi chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abubakar Kana-Zuru.

The duo’s suspension followed complaints from party stakeholders over alleged poor performance and a lack of effective mobilisation during the Zuru state constituency by-election held on June 20.
