The Commissioner for Commerce in Jigawa State, Aminu Kanta, has been suspended over alleged misappropriation of Ramadan feeding funds.
The state governor, Umar Namadi, who suspended the commissioner, said it is with immediate effect.
He noted that the suspension followed the allegations of misappropriation of funds allocated for the Ramadan Iftar feeding programme in the Babura Local Government Area of the state.
This is contained in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Bala Ibrahim, on Friday in Dutse, the state capital.
The affected commissioner, according to the statement would remain suspended, pending the outcome of an investigative committee established by the governor to probe the allegation.
“Governor Namadi’s action underscores his commitment to responsible financial management and tackling misuse of public funds,” the statement said.
