Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris has reinstated the Commissioner for Animal Health, Husbandry and Fisheries, Kabir Usman Alaramma, four months after suspending him.
The Commissioner for Information and Culture, Yakubu Ahmed-BK, announced the reinstatement on Monday, shortly after the State Executive Council meeting presided over by the governor at the Government House, Birnin Kebbi.
Ahmed-BK said the governor had directed that Alaramma’s suspension be lifted, with the commissioner ordered to resume his duties immediately.
“Consequently, he has been reinstated to his position and is hereby directed to resume his official duties with immediate effect,” the commissioner said.
Alaramma was suspended in June 2026, although the state government did not publicly disclose the reasons for the action.
The suspension was announced by the Secretary to the State Government, Yakubu Bala-Tafida, who directed Alaramma to hand over government property, official documents and his responsibilities to the ministry’s Permanent Secretary pending further directives.
The government has not stated whether the reinstatement followed the conclusion of an investigation or any other administrative process.
