Nasarawa House of Assembly has directed Governor Abdullahi Sule to immediately sack the Secretary to the State Government, Ahmed Aliyu Tijjani for allegedly exhibiting high level of corruption while serving as Commissioner for Education in the immediate past administration.

Speaker Balarabe Abdullahi ruled in favour of the majority, directing the Governor to immediately sack the SSG from
