Governor Lawal Reinstates Abdu Gusau Polytechnic Rector

Governor Dauda Lawal has reinstated Dr. Sirajo Shinkafi as the substantive rector of Abdu Gusau Polytechnic following a careful review of the circumstances surrounding his previous suspension. This decision was communicated in a statement issued on Thursday by the Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Affairs, Dr. Abubakar Mohammed, on behalf of the Secretary to the State Government.

The reinstatement takes immediate effect, and Dr. Shinkafi is directed to report to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology prior to resuming his duties. The statement did not provide further details regarding the outcome of the review or the specific reasons for Dr. Shinkafi's earlier suspension, which included accusations of insubordination.

A state government-appointed committee, chaired by former state Head of Service Mujtapha Isah, was tasked with investigating the matter.
