Yobe State House of Assembly Receives Petitions Alleging Misconduct by Local Government Officials

The Yobe State House of Assembly recently received two petitions addressing critical issues within local governance. The first petition, presented by Hon. Nasiru Hassan Yusuf, the House Leader, concerns the Vice-Chairman of Karasuwa Local Government Council, Khalid Abba Umara. The petition, signed by the Director Personnel Management of the Council, Gaji Mohammed, alleges serious misconduct and insubordination towards the executive chairman of the council by Umara.
