Nigerian Governor Sacks Five Commissioners, Names Replacements

The Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, has dismissed two commissioners who were recently reinstated after being suspended, along with three others.

Musa Ashoms, the state’s Commissioner for Information, confirmed the news in Jos, but did not provide further details on the reasons for the dismissals.

A letter from Samuel Jatau, the Secretary to the Plateau State Government, confirmed the removal of the five commissioners, while also expressing gratitude for their service and wishing them well in the future.

The letter, signed by the SSG and seen by PUNCH Online on Wednesday, listed the dismissed commissioners as: Hon. Sule Musa Haruna (Ministry of Commerce and Industry), Associate Prof. Obed Gossele Nanjul (Ministry of Science and Technology), Hon. Noel Naamiap Nkup (Ministry of Youth and Sports Development), Hon. Chrysantus Dawan (Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning), and Hon. Jamila Tukur Bitrus (Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Hospitality).

The new nominees are: Dr. Sunday Akpan (Bassa Local Government Area), Rt. Hon. Joyce Lohya Ramnap, Mni (Langtang South), Arc. Sylvanus Dongtoe (Shendam), Dr. Nicholas Baamlong (Qua’anpan), and Cornelius Doeyok (Qua’anpan LGA).

The letter also conveyed the Governor’s appreciation for the service of the outgoing commissioners and extended well wishes for their future endeavors.

This move follows a decision just three months ago to reinstate two commissioners—Chrysanthus Dawan (Ministry of Budget) and Jamila Tukur Bitrus (Ministry of Tourism)—who had been suspended in August 2024, but were reinstated in October 2024 before ultimately being dismissed.
