This is to inform the general public that His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Zamfara State, Hon. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, MON (Shattiman Sokoto) has approved termination of the appointment of Hon. Kabiru Sahabi Liman as a Special Adviser with immediate effect. 

This follows a close monitoring exercise which revealed, amongst other things, that he is grossly incompetent to undertake the responsibilities and public thrust associated with the exalted position of a Special Adviser. 

The monitoring excercise would be a continuous exercise that is aimed at reinvigorating public service delivery; ensuring public trust; and facilitating good governance in the State.
