Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano has sacked the Chairman NNPC/AKK Gas pipeline project and Gas industrialisation committee, Engr. Muazu Magaji, over poor performance and insubordination.
This is contained in a statement by the state Commissioner for Information, Mr Muhammed Garba.
The statement revealed that the action was taken in view of the Chairman’s inability to measure up with the challenging job, poor performance and insubordination.
Engr. Magaji’s appointment in April, 2020, according to the statement, had the hope that he would work diligently towards supervising the effective execution of the project.
It added that Magaji had failed to live up to expectation in carrying out the responsibility assigned to him, in overseeing the project, which the government had attached great premium.
According to the statement, “His leadership of the committee, amongst which is to coordinate, in close partnership with the NNPC on timely implementation of the project, has not been forthcoming to achieve the desired objective.”
The statement, however, directed that the sacked chairman should hand over the affairs of the committee to the Deputy Executive Chairman, Mr Aminu Babba-Dan‘Agundi.
The statement further disclosed that Gov. Ganduje, commended Magaji for serving and wished him success in his future endeavor. (NAN)
