The Permanent Secretaries suspended were Sa’idu Abubakar, the immediate past State Accountant general (AG), Danjuma Garba, and Bala Ibrahim Sabo, the chief executive officer (Accounts).
The suspension was considered during the commission’s 1st extraordinary sitting held on Monday, September 30, effective September 27th, 2024.
This was conveyed in a Press release signed and issued to Journalists in Bauchi by the commission’s information officer Saleh Umar, where he said the commission arrived at this action after reviewing the recommendations and other available documents on the affected officers submitted by the office of the state head of civil service during the session.
According to the Commission, “the State head of Service recommends appropriate disciplinary actions against the Suspended officers””.
He cited section 0331 of the Bauchi State Public Service Regulations that gives room for further investigations since the matter is currently with the relevant authorities.
He explained that the suspended officers are serving under the office of the Secretary to the State Government, attached to Ministries of Higher Education and that of Natural Resources, respectively.
The Bauchí State Chairman of the State Civil Service Commission, Alh. Abubakar Usman during the session, warned the state public/civil servants to adhere to the rules of engagements in the conduct and discharge of their responsibilities.
Alhaji Abubakar Usman therefore reiterated the commission’s efforts, commitment and determination to sanitize the state civil service system for effective performance and development.
