THE Zamfara State Government has suspended the Rector of Abdu Gusau Polytechnic, Talata Mafara, Dr. Sirajo Abdullahi Shinkafi, with immediate effect over allegations of administrative misconduct and insubordination.
The decision was announced in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Abubakar Mohammed Nakwada, who said the action followed concerns over the rector’s conduct in office.
According to the statement, the suspension takes immediate effect as the government moves to address issues relating to the institution’s administration.
Nakwada maintained that the government remains committed to ensuring stability within the polytechnic and has put measures in place to guarantee the smooth continuation of academic and administrative activities during the period of suspension.
He assured students, staff, and members of the public that the institution’s operations would not be disrupted, stressing that arrangements had been made to maintain effective management of the school.
Efforts to obtain a reaction from the suspended rector were unsuccessful, as he could not be reached at the time of filing the report.
