Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has revealed that the government has begun to implement its rightsizing policy by disengaging 99 political appointees.
He, however, stated that the state government had yet to disengage any civil servant as only agencies connected to the local government system have disengaged staff.
The governor who briefed reporters on Thursday listed those affected to include the 23 local government councils, State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), and the Primary Health Care Board.

He stated that the disengaged political appointees constituted 30 per cent of the total number of political office holders in the state.
‘’So far, 99 political appointees have lost their jobs, but we have not commenced rightsizing civil servants,” said Governor El-Rufai.
He added, “We want to be fair with regards to civil servants. We had earlier promised that before we reduce the size of the civil service, we will start with political appointees, and we have done that.”
