According to Premium Times, in December 2017, Shehu Ningi who is the commissioner for Budget and Planning penned down his resignation. He resigned a day after Governor Abubakar presented the 2017 budget estimates to the state’s House of Assembly.

Ningi explained that the environment in which he would have exercised his advisory role as member of the State Executive Council was “unaccommodating, debilitating and non-adviser friendly”.
