Borno Governor Babagana Zulum Sacks All Commissioners

On April 3, 2026, Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum announced the dissolution of the state executive council, resulting in the dismissal of all commissioners. This strategic move is intended to enable the commissioners to concentrate on their aspirations for the upcoming 2027 general elections without any conflicts of interest.

Governor Zulum expressed gratitude to the former commissioners for their service and dedication to the progress of Borno State during their tenure. He instructed the former commissioners to transfer the management of their respective ministries to the permanent secretaries.

This decision reflects a significant political shift as the state prepares for the next electoral cycle.
