The Jigawa State House of Assembly has suspended three local government council chairmen for allegedly travelling to Rwanda while the state was preparing for its 2024 budget presentation without permission.
The lawmakers claimed that the council chairpersons neither sought their permission nor that of the state’s governor, Umar Namadi, before embarking on the trip.
The suspended chairpersons are Mubarak Ahmed of Yankwashi Local Government; Rufai Ahmad of Gumel Local Government; and Umar Baffa of Birniwa Local Government.
