Commissioner for Commerce and Industries in Bauchi State Mohammed Sadiq has resigned his appointment.
A copy of his resignation letter was obtained by newsmen on Thursday.
Sadiq said he resigned voluntarily, tendering his letter of resignation on Wednesday.
“It is a rare privilege and opportunity to have served my state in such an exalted position.
“I thank the Executive Governor, Bala Mohammed, for the wonderful opportunity accorded to me.
“In the same vein, I must appreciate my boss, Yakubu Dogara, for his usual support and the role he played in influencing same,” he said.
Dogara recently dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC). Bauchi is being governed by the PDP-led administration.
Sadiq said he worked with his colleagues in the state executive council and the ministry as a formidable team.
He added that he enjoyed the understanding of his family at such a trying time to take the decision.
“I beseech God to forgive all my wrongs and the general public and colleagues to pardon me.
“I urge you to help me, pray God to grant me success, contentment and peace of mind in my new endeavor,” he said.
