The governor of Kaduna state, Nasir el-Rufai has directed all political appointees to submit their letter of resignation before April 30, 2019. Samuel Aruwan, el-Rufai’s spokesman, in a statement, said each notice of resignation must be submitted along with a handover note, signed by the political appointee on behalf of the ministries, departments and agencies or office to which he or she had been appointed.

In addition, all resignation letters should be properly addressed to the principal private secretary.

He said the governor expressed his gratitude to all the political appointees for their contributions and service to the state during his first-term.

“The governor will exercise his constitutional prerogative to decide on re-appointments while giving the state ministry of finance adequate time to compute severance payments and reconcile any liabilities,” the statement read.

“As he constitutes the team that will assist him in his second-term, the governor said he expects the process to be enriched by the handover notes from the political appointees, and the report of the Transition Committee headed by the Deputy Governor-elect, Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe.”

“Due to recent adjustments in roles within the government, the occupants of and recent appointees into the following offices are also exempted from the directive to resign: Commissioner of Finance; Principal Private Secretary; Accountant-General;  Special Adviser; Intergovernmental Relations Managing Director; Kaduna Markets Development Company; Managing Director, Kaduna Investment and Finance Company, and any other political appointee sworn-in or appointed to their current role within the last six months.”
