Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has forwarded the names of a human rights activist, Ambassador Ibrahim Waiya, and five others as commissioner nominees to the House of Assembly for consideration.
The Speaker of the House, Ismail Jibrin Falgore, made this announcement on Monday while reading the governor’s letter.
According to the letter, the nominees include Ibrahim Abdullahi Wayya, Shehu Wada Sagagi, Dr. Dahiru Mohd Hashim, Dr Isma’il Dan Maraya, Gaddafi Sani Shehu, and Abdulkadir AbdulSalam.
The nominees are expected to appear before the Kano State House of Assembly on Tuesday for screening.
It will be recalled that recently, Governor Yusuf carried out a cabinet reshuffle, sacking some commissioners and reassigning others.
With this submission of commissioner nominees, Governor Yusuf may have taken steps to replace the sacked commissioners.
