The Bauchi State Civil Service Commission has dismissed two senior officers for forgery as part of its ongoing efforts to sanitise the state civil service.
Those affected are an Administrative Officer, Yusuf Adamu Ningi, and a Principal Executive Officer I, Mr. Suleiman Ahmed (Ahuta), both of whom were posted to the Government House from the Office of the Head of Civil Service.
A statement issued on Wednesday by the Commission’s Information and Public Relations Officer, Saleh Umar, said the decision was taken during the Commission’s 35th plenary session held on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the officers were found guilty of forgery, a violation of State Public Service Rule 0327 (ii, iii, and vi). Their dismissal took effect from September 23, 2025.
In another development, the Commission formalised the promotion of three substantive directors into the State Service and endorsed the elevation of four deputy directors to director level.
The newly confirmed directors include two in administration and human resources, as well as a director of audit. Those elevated include directors of planning, research and statistics, civil litigation, and land and valuation.
Also, eight Chief State Counsels and a Chief Land Officer were promoted to the rank of Deputy Director, among others.
Addressing the plenary, CSC Chairman, Dr. Ibrahim Alhaji Muhammad, charged civil servants to strictly adhere to service rules, circulars, and regulations in the discharge of their duties.
He noted that strict compliance would eliminate unlawful practices, promote integrity, and ensure corruption-free service delivery.
While congratulating the newly promoted officers, Dr. Ibrahim reiterated the Commission’s zero tolerance for misconduct, stressing its commitment to discipline, ethical standards, and integrity across the state civil service.
It will be recalled that on September 11, the Commission also dismissed an Education Officer for gross misconduct involving sexual harassment, following recommendations from the Office of the Head of Civil Service.
