The Bauchi State Civil Service Commission has sacked two senior government officials over alleged forgery.
According to the commission, the offence violates the State Public Service Rule 0327, (ii, iii, and vi), which addresses forgery and falsification of official documents.
The announcement was contained in a press release signed by the commission’s Information and Public Relations Officer, Saleh Umar.
The statement identified the affected officials as Administrative Officer, Yusuf Ningi, and Principal Executive Officer I, Suleiman Ahmed, who were previously assigned to the Government House from the Office of the Head of Civil Service.
“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 move was aimed at safeguarding integrity and accountability within the state civil service.
In a separate development, the Commission also approved the elevation of several senior officers.
At its sitting, it confirmed the promotion of three substantive directors into the state service and endorsed the elevation of four deputy directors to the rank of director.
Those promoted include directors in administration and human resources, and audit, while the new directors are from planning, research and statistics, civil litigation, and land and valuation.
Additionally, eight chief state counsels and a chief land officer were promoted to deputy director positions.
During the plenary, the Chairman of the commission, Ibrahim Muhammad, urged all civil servants in the state to comply with Public Service Rules, internal and external circulars, as well as ethical standards in carrying out their duties.
“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.
The Chairman reaffirmed the commission’s commitment to promoting professionalism and integrity across the service.
While congratulating those promoted, he encouraged them to step up their dedication in serving the state.
This decision follows the dismissal of an education officer on September 11 for gross misconduct related to sexual harassment.
The commission added that all resolutions reached at the plenary were based on recommendations from the Office of the Head of Civil Service.
