Governor Umaru Bago of Niger State has relieved all his Special Advisers of their appointments as part of efforts to restructure governance and improve service delivery in the state.
The decision was announced on Tuesday during the governor’s maiden State Executive Council meeting with newly sworn-in commissioners, held at the Council Chamber of the Government House in Minna.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, Governor Bago said the move was aimed at repositioning the advisers’ portfolios for greater efficiency in line with his “New Niger” development agenda.
According to the governor, the reshuffle will allow the administration to rejig its advisory structure to better align with its policy objectives and governance priorities.
Governor Bago expressed appreciation to the affected Special Advisers for their dedication, sacrifices and contributions to the achievements recorded by his administration so far.
He also wished them success in their future endeavours.
The development comes amid broader efforts by the Niger State government to reform its administrative structure and enhance the effectiveness of governance.
