According to the statement, the dismissal was decided at an emergency executive Council meeting of the Chamber which held in Gusau.
The meeting, chaired by President of the Chamber, Alhaji Bashar Ibrahim, also held deliberations on a Report of the Committee that investigated the allegations of gross misconduct and fraud leveled against the embattled Director General , who was eventually found culpable.
