Kebbi governor reinstates suspended commissioner after four months
Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris has reinstated Kabir Usman Alaramma as Commissioner for Animal Health, Husbandry, and Fisheries, four months after he was suspended from the position.
The announcement was made on Monday by Yakubu Ahmed-BK, the Commissioner for Information and Culture, following a State Executive Council meeting led by the governor at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi. Ahmed-BK stated that the suspension had been officially revoked, allowing Alaramma to resume his duties immediately.
Alaramma was suspended in June 2026, but the state government did not disclose the reasons behind the decision. At the time of his removal, Secretary to the State Government Yakubu Bala-Tafida directed him to transfer all official records, government property, and outstanding responsibilities to the ministry’s Permanent Secretary.
Alaramma’s suspension coincided with broader disciplinary actions within the Kebbi chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), during which state chairman Abubakar Muhammad Kana-Zuru and Zuru Local Government chairman Aliyu Abubakar Abiola were also suspended for alleged anti-party activities and other infractions.
The recent announcement did not clarify whether an investigation had taken place or been concluded prior to the governor’s decision to reinstate Alaramma.
