Ayoade Folashade, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), made the pronouncement in a statement in Lokoja on Monday.
The SSG said, “The Office of the Governor of Kogi, Yahaya Bello, has officially announced the immediate reinstatement of five key officials in the state.”
She gave the names of individuals approved to resume their previous positions, including Jibrin Momoh, the state’s former Accountant General; Jamiu Abdulkarim-Asuku, the former chief of staff to the governor; and Yakubu Okala, the former State Auditor-General.
Others are Idris Asiwaju Asiru, the former Commissioner for Finance, Budget, and Economic Planning, and Momodu Ozigi-Deedat, the former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
“The reinstatement of the Auditor-General and the commissioners was subject to the scrutiny and confirmation of the House of Assembly before they could resume their duties,” the SSG said.
