Borno State Governor Prof. Babagana Zulum has approved the immediate dissolution of the State Executive Council.

The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Bukar Tijani, announced this via a statement issued on Monday, March 30, 2026.

Tijani said the decision was aimed at allowing members of the council who may wish to contest elective positions in the 2027 general election to do so.
