Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris announced on Monday that he had reinstated Kabir Usman Alaramma, the Commissioner for Animal Health, Husbandry and Fisheries, after a four‑month suspension.
The decision was made public by the Commissioner for Information and Culture, Yakubu Ahmed‑BK, following a State Executive Council meeting chaired by Governor Idris at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi.
“The governor had authorised the cancellation of the suspension, with Alaramma expected to return to his official responsibilities without delay,” said Ahmed‑BK.
Alaramma was removed from office in June 2026, but the state government did not disclose the specific issues that led to the action. At the time of his suspension, Secretary to the State Government Yakubu Bala‑Tafida had instructed him to transfer all official records, government assets and pending responsibilities under his custody to the ministry’s Permanent Secretary.
The suspension came amid disciplinary measures within the Kebbi chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The party also suspended its state chairman, Abubakar Muhammad Kana‑Zuru, and the Zuru Local Government chairman, Aliyu Abubakar Abiola, over alleged anti‑party activities and other violations.
It was not made clear whether an investigation into Alaramma had been conducted or concluded before the governor approved his return.
Kebbi State, located in north‑western Nigeria, is one of the country’s 36 states and is known for its agricultural activities, particularly livestock farming.
