Dakingari suspends water board chief
Governor Sa’idu Dakingari of Kebbi state has ordered the suspension of Alhaji Umaru Bena, the General Manager of Kebbi State Water Board, for negligence of duty.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Dakingari gave the order during a visit to the warehouse and the headquarters of the water board in Birnin Kebbi.
The governor frowned at the manner chemicals, worth millions of Naira, were exposed to rainfall at the warehouse.
He decried the non-chalant attitude of the general manager to government property.
NAN observed that Bena, who was taking the governor round the board’s premises, could not offer satisfactory explanation to some questions.
Dakingari had last week given the general manager a four weeks ultimatum to restore water supply to inhabitants of the state or face the music.
NAN also reports that N6.2million was approved and released by the government to enable the board restore water supply.
