The Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has fired the State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Mu’azu Magaji with immediate effect.

According to a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, the commissioner was removed following his unguarded utterances against the person of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari.

He said as a public servant, the commissioner ought to have respect for the office by refraining from any act capable of rendering it to disrepute.
