Niger State Governor Fires SUBEB Chairman and Members Amidst Controversy

Governor Bago of Niger State has sacked the Chairman and members of SUBEB, including Muhammad Baba Ibrahim, as part of efforts to enhance the efficiency of education service delivery. The decision was announced by the Secretary to the State Government, Abubakar Usman.

Additionally, Governor Bago's recent declaration on licensing for clerics within two months has sparked discussions across the state, with some praising the move for peace while others express concerns about religious freedom. The Director-General of Niger State Religious Affairs clarified that the policy is a revival of an edict from 1985, not a new one.
