The Kebbi government has terminated the appointment of the district head of Sauwa, Muhammad Tajudden-Sauwa, for insubordination.

The government also placed a six month suspension on the district head of Guluma, Muhammad Bashir-Guluma for the same offence.

Ahmed Idris, chief press secretary to Kebbi Governor, disclosed this in a statement issued in Birnin Kebbi on Saturday.

Mr Idris said a committee set up on Jan. 31 by the Local Government Service Commission, found the two local officials guilty of insubordination.

The committee was set up following complaints against the two district heads by Arugungu Local Government Council.

He said that the committee recommended the action taken by government in line with Public Services Rule 030301(0), which centered around acts of insubordination.

Mr Idris said the termination and suspension of the district heads took effect from Feb. 29, 2024.
