Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto state, has dissolved the state executive council “with immediate effect”.

Abubakar Shekara, director-general, media and public affairs to the governor, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.

“The dissolution is aimed at restructuring and restrategising the cabinet for optimum efficiency and service delivery to the good people of Sokoto,” the statement read.

The commissioners were directed to hand over the affairs of their respective ministries to the permanent secretaries.

The statement said the governor thanked the commissioners for the “dedication, sacrifice and loyalty” to his administration.

It added that he expressed appreciation to the people for cooperating with and supporting the outgoing members of the council towards achieving the success recorded.

“Governor Tambuwal wishes the outgoing executive council members success in their future endeavors,” it read.
