Similarly, the Jigawa state assembly directed the ministry for local government to warn the chairmen of Gwaram and Guri local governments against violations of the local government administration law as the state assembly would not accept gross misconduct. In conclusion, the state assembly also directed the ministry for local government to recall the chairmen of Gumel, Yankwashi and Birniwa local governments earlier suspended after the completion of full investigation against them. Speaking to The roundTable an ex-local government administrator Malam Aminu Dutse disclosed that Jigawa state govt is trying to ensure that local councils did not jump their constitutional duties and to sanitise the expending of the public funds entrusted to them.
