Zamfara State Government has inaugurated an eight-member committee to investigate allegations against the suspended rector of Abdu Gusau Polytechnic in Talata Mafara, Dr. Sirajo Abdullahi Shinkafi. According to reports, the panel is chaired by former Head of Service Mujtaba Isah and was inaugurated in Gusau by the state Secretary to the Government (SSG), Abubakar Mohammed Nakwada, on Monday. The government says the investigation concerns claims of misconduct and insubordination, including allegations described as gross administrative misconduct. Nakwada tells the committee to conduct its work with fairness and objectivity, emphasizing that its task is to establish facts rather than presume guilt or innocence. He also says the state will consider the panel’s recommendations to improve governance, discipline, accountability, and efficiency in state tertiary institutions. Isah, in his remarks, pledges that the committee will discharge its assignment with integrity and impartiality. The sources agree that the committee is expected to submit its findings to the government for further action based on its recommendations.
