“Consequently, he has been reinstated to his position and is hereby directed to resume his official duties with immediate effect,” the commissioner said.
Alaramma was suspended in June 2026, although the state government did not disclose the specific allegations that led to the decision.
The suspension was communicated in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Yakubu Bala-Tafida, who instructed the commissioner to surrender all government property, official records and responsibilities under his custody to the ministry’s Permanent Secretary pending further instructions.
His removal came around the same period the Kebbi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) suspended its chairman, Abubakar Muhammad Kana-Zuru, and the Zuru Local Government Area party chairman, Aliyu Abubakar Abiola, over alleged anti-party activities and other internal party violations.
The government has not explained whether Alaramma’s reinstatement followed an investigation or the completion of any administrative process.
