The Niger State Governor, Mohammed Bago, has dissolved his cabinet, asking the Permanent Secretaries to take over affairs of the ministries pending when new commissioners will be inaugurated.

The Governor made this known on Monday during the State Executive Council meeting at the Council Chamber, Minna.
Bago, however, retained the Secretary to the State Government, Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, and other principal officers in his office.
