Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, has directed the immediate reinstatement of the Commissioner for Animal Health, Husbandry and Fisheries, Alhaji Kabir Usman Alaramma, lifting his four-month executive suspension.
​The announcement was made on Monday, November 9, 2026, by the Kebbi State Commissioner for Information and Culture, Alhaji Yakubu Ahmed Birnin Kebbi.
Speaking during a press briefing held immediately after the State Executive Council meeting at the Council Chamber of the Government House in Birnin Kebbi, the information commissioner confirmed that the suspension had been formally rescinded by the governor.
He stated that with the directive taking immediate effect, Alaramma is expected to resume his official duties at the ministry without delay, taking back his seat on the cabinet and resuming oversight of state livestock and fisheries programs.
​The administrative action resolves a political chapter that began when Alaramma was originally suspended from office on June 24, 2024, alongside the Kebbi State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru.
Their temporary removal followed complaints raised by local party stakeholders regarding political mobilization and performance surrounding the Zuru State Constituency by-election held earlier that month.
Following executive reviews and subsequent political reconciliation, Governor Idris approved the full reinstatement, restoring Alaramma to his cabinet position.
