Governor Caleb Mutfwang has sacked six of his appointees and suspended one.

Samuel Jatau, the secretary to the state government, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Jos.

Mr Jatau said the move was part of the government’s efforts to reposition for greater efficiency and effective service delivery.

Timothy Golu, the special adviser to the governor on strategic communication; Fom Gwottson, the liaison officer, Jos South; Nanbol Rimvyat and Nannim Langyi, the liaison officers, Langtang North; Paul Datugum and Nimchat Rims, the liaison officers for Qua’an Pan and Langtang South, respectively, were fired by the governor.
