Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has sacked all commissioners in his cabinet, effectively dissolving the state’s executive council.

In a statement issued on Monday, Bukar Tijani, Secretary to the State Government, said the governor directed the commissioners to hand over the affairs of their respective ministries to permanent secretaries on or before Friday, April 3.

“The decision is to provide an enabling environment for any member of the council who may wish to contest elective positions in the forthcoming general elections,” the statement reads.

“The governor has therefore directed all commissioners to hand over the affairs of their respective ministries to the Permanent Secretaries on or before Friday, April 3, 2026.

“Governor Zulum expressed his profound appreciation to the outgoing Commissioners for their dedication, commitment, and invaluable contributions to the development and service of the people of Borno state.”

Several state governors have given their political appointees seeking elective offices up to March 31 to resign — in line with the amended Electoral Act
