The Chairman, Bauchi State Drugs and Medical Consumables Agency, Dayyabu Ciroma has rejected Federal Government’s appointment.

The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, had appointed Mr Ciroma as a member of the Governing Council of the Federal Polytechnic Shendam, Plateau State.

But in a letter dated April 12, and addressed to the minister, Mr Ciroma turned down the offer, citing loyalty to his principal, Governor Bala Mohammed as the reason.

“My loyalty and dedication to my dear political party, the People’s Democratic party, PDP, and indeed my personal support and unwavering loyalty to the Executive Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Abdulkadir who have since found me capable and worthy of serving as Chairman of Bauchi State’s Drugs and Medical Consumable Management Agency,” he said.
