According to the Governor, the sacking of Liman was necessitated following a close monitoring exercise which revealed that he was “grossly incompetent to undertake the responsibilities and public thrust associated with the exalted position of a Special Adviser.”
He added that the monitoring exercise which is a continuous process, is aimed at reinvigorating public service delivery, ensuring public trust and facilitating good governance in the state.
