Governor Zulum Sacks All Commissioners, Dissolves Borno Executive Council

Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has dissolved the state’s Executive Council and sacked all commissioners from his cabinet.

In a statement on Monday, the Secretary to the State Government, Bukar Tijani, said the affected commissioners have been instructed to hand over the responsibilities of their ministries to the permanent secretaries 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.”
