Tamuno was asked to submit all
government documents and properties in his possession to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Environment.
The sacked commissioner heard about his sack at a public function.
Although no reason was given for Tamuno’s sacking, our correspondent learnt that the commissioner, who was presiding over a media conference on soot and air quality in the state, rushed out of the briefing and asked his Permanent Secretary to hold fort.
