The Governor of Katsina state, Aminu Masari on Wednesday sacked the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Halimatu Sa'adiya Idris following his quest to bring politicians on board ahead of the 2019 general elections. Her sack was contained in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Abdu Labaran. The statement read;
“Her contributions to the development of education in particular in the state cannot be over-emphasized. During her term as commissioner, schools were rehabilitated and upgraded, new ones were constructed, teachers were trained and the atmosphere made more conducive for learning and teaching.
However, as political activities for the 2019 general elections are about to commence, it becomes imperative for government to bring more active politicians on board to fasten activities of governance”.
