The Kebbi State Government has criticised a call by the ADC to review the appointments of 21 professors. The government described the proposed review as politically motivated, according to Punch Nigeria, but the available report does not provide details of the appointments or the party’s stated reasons for seeking a review.

The Kebbi State Government has criticised a call by the ADC to review the appointments of 21 professors, describing the proposal as politically motivated. Punch Nigeria reported the government’s response but did not provide further details about when the appointments were made, the institutions involved or the grounds cited by the ADC. The government’s criticism represents a rejection of the ADC’s demand.

It has characterised the proposed review as a political move rather than an administrative or academic matter. The available information does not state whether the ADC has responded to the criticism, nor does it indicate what action the state government intends to take next. It also does not identify the 21 professors or explain the status of their appointments.

The dispute, as reported, centres on whether the appointments should be reconsidered. The government has not been reported as announcing any review of its own, while the ADC’s position is presented only through its call for one.
