Just In – Gov Ganduje Sacks NNPC/AKK Project Committee Chairman Magaji

From the statement also, Governor Ganduje had expected that Mr Muazu Magaji would have worked diligently in supervising the effective execution of the NNPC/AKK project but Mr Magaji failed to live up to expectation

Mr. Muazu Magaji’s was appointed as the Committee Chairman in April 2021 and was responsible for coordinating the execution of the NNPC/AKK project in close partnership with NNPC

However, we will recall that this was not the first time Mr. Magaji has been sacked. He was first sacked for celebrating the death of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff Abba Kyari but was later reappointed as the Committee Chairman of the NNPC/AKK project.

Gov Ganduja has since directed Mr. Magaji to hand over to the committee’s deputy chairman Aminu Babba-Dan Agundi the Sarkin Dawaki Babba.
