The Bauchi State Civil Service Commission has dismissed two senior government officials over alleged forgery, citing violations of the State Public Service Rule 0327 (ii, iii, and vi), which prohibits forgery and falsification of official documents.
In a press release signed by the Commission’s Information and Public Relations Officer, Saleh Umar, the affected officers were identified as Yusuf Ningi, an Administrative Officer, and Suleiman Ahmed, a Principal Executive Officer I.
Naija News understands that both men, who were previously posted to the Government House from the Office of the Head of Civil Service, were dismissed after the Commission’s 35th plenary session held on September 23, 2025.
“The dismissal was considered and formalised during the Commission’s 35th plenary on September 23, 2025, and it takes immediate effect,” the statement read.
The Commission explained that the disciplinary measure was necessary to reinforce integrity and accountability in the state civil service.
Chairman of the Commission, Ibrahim Muhammad, urged civil servants to strictly comply with public service rules and ethical guidelines.
“Adherence to laid-down laws and procedures is essential to rid the system of unlawful practices and enhance service delivery that is free from corruption,” he said.
Commission Also Approved Promotions
In a separate development, the plenary approved a series of promotions across the state civil service.
Three substantive directors were confirmed into the state service, while four deputy directors were elevated to the rank of director.
Those promoted include directors in administration and human resources, and audit, while the endorsed promotions covered directors of planning, research and statistics, civil litigation, and land and valuation.
Additionally, eight Chief State Counsel and a Chief Land Officer were elevated to deputy director positions.
While congratulating the newly promoted officers, the chairman of the commission, Muhammad, urged them to redouble their efforts in service to the state.
The Commission recalled that it had earlier dismissed an education officer on September 11 for gross misconduct involving sexual harassment.
It stressed that all recent decisions were based on recommendations submitted by the Office of the Head of Civil Service, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen discipline and integrity within the system.If You’re Reading From Phoenix Click On Read Original at the top To Read Full Article
