The Bauchi State Government has announced the suspension of four senior officials following findings of misconduct in the discharge of their duties.
In a statement issued by the Head of Service, Yahuza Adamu Haruna, the government explained that the suspension was necessary to uphold integrity and restore public confidence in the civil service. The affected officials, whose names were not immediately disclosed, were accused of violating established rules and engaging in practices deemed detrimental to the smooth running of government operations.
Haruna emphasized that the Bauchi State Government under Governor Bala Mohammed remains committed to transparency, accountability, and discipline in public service. He noted that the suspension is in line with the administration’s zero-tolerance policy on corruption and misconduct.
The Head of Service further assured that investigations are ongoing and that appropriate sanctions will be applied once the disciplinary process is concluded. He urged other civil servants to remain dedicated and professional, warning that the government will not hesitate to take action against anyone found guilty of misconduct.
The announcement has sparked reactions among residents, with many praising the government’s move as a step toward sanitizing the civil service, while others called for more transparency in naming the suspended officials and detailing the nature of their offenses.
