Magaji said the affected commissioners were in charge of the Ministries of Works, Women Affairs, Information, Lands, Science and Technology, as well as Security and Sundry Matters.
He explained that the commissioners were asked to step aside to pave the way for fresh ideas and strengthen governance in the remaining months of the administration.
According to him, the decision was not a reflection of poor performance, as the council acknowledged the commitment, efficiency and hard work of the commissioners during their service.
“The government appreciates their contributions. The adjustment is intended to rejig the system, inject fresh energy into the administration and ensure that the mandate given to Gov. Abdullahi Sule is fully delivered within the remaining period of this administration,” he said.
Magaji added that the former commissioners would continue to be part of the government and could be considered for other assignments in due course.
