"We take all allegations seriously and are dedicated to upholding the trust of Jigawa citizens in the government."
The suspension is seen as a commitment by the Governor to uphold ethical standards in governance and ensure accountability among public officials. The move is also aimed at maintaining the integrity of the state administration and reassuring citizens that allegations of misconduct will be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly.
As the investigation into Sankara’s actions continues, the people of Jigawa State await the outcome, hoping that justice will be served and that the integrity of the state government will be upheld.
