Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has sacked 99 political appointees.
The Kaduna State Governor disclosed this during a media chat with some Kaduna-based broadcast journalists.
Revealing that the state has started implementing its rightsizing policy but is yet to disengage any state civil servant, El-Rufai noted that the sacked political appointees constitute 30 per cent of political officeholders.
The Governor said “So far, 99 political appointees have lost their jobs but we have not commenced rightsizing civil servants. We want to be fair with regards to civil servants. We had earlier promised that before we reduce the size of the civil service, we will start with political appointees and we have done that”
