<\/p>\n

Governor Umaru Al-Makura of Nasarawa State has disengaged all his political appointees ahead of his exit from office on May 29.<\/p>\n

Al-Makura announced the disengagement of the appointees during an expanded state executive council meeting on Wednesday in Lafia.<\/p>\n

He said the decision was to ensure a seamless transition from his administration to the incoming administration of Mr Abdullahi Sule, NAN reports.<\/p>\n

Al-Makura, however, said that some appointees handling critical positions that have to do with the day-to-day running of government would maintain their positions until May 29.<\/p>\n

He also directed all Commissioners to tidy up their hand-over notes and submit same to him on or before May 20.<\/p>\n

The governor said the hand-over notes would be a guiding document to their successor.<\/p>\n

He explained that even after submitting the hand-over notes, all the commissioners would remain on their desks until May 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came together and we shall leave together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would all work relentlessly towards a seamless and exciting transition to the new administration,\u201d Al-Makura added.<\/p>\n

He thanked the commissioners and his other appointees for their support in helping to make the state better than they met it in 2011.<\/p>\n

The Governor attributed the success story of his administration to the commitment, doggedness and resilience of his team, saying that the achievements were results of collective efforts.<\/p>\n

Al-Makura urged the people to accord his successor the same support in whatever capacity they found themselves in order to take the state to the next level.<\/p>\n

Responding on behalf of the aides, Mr David Ayewa, a Senior Special Assistant to the Governor, thanked the governor for giving them the opportunity to serve the state.<\/p>\n

He also pledged their unalloyed support to the incoming administration to be inaugurated on May 29.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
