House of Assembly confirms seven commissioner nominees
Kano State House of Assembly on Tuesday, confirmed seven nominees forwarded by the state governor, Abba Yusuf, for screening as members of the state executive council.
The confirmation followed three and half hours of comprehensive screening of the nominees and subsequent unanimous acceptance of the nominees as Commissioners-designate.
While announcing the confirmation at the plenary, the Speaker, Jibril Falgore, disclosed that the confirmation followed the resolution of the lawmakers at the committee of the ad-hoc.
It should be recalled that Falgore on Monday, read the executive bill containing six nominees for screening and possible confirmation as commissioners in the state.
Also, the Speaker announced Nura Iro Ma’aji as an addition to the initial nominees.
At the close of the day, those confirmed include former Chief of Staff, Shehu Wada Sagaji, who was relieved of his duty last Thursday alongside the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, who was dropped on health condition.
Other commissioners designated include Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, Gaddafi Sani Shehu, Ibrahim Wayya, Dr. Dahiru Hashim Muhammad, and Dr. Ismail Aliyu Dannaraya.
“I’ll forever remain appreciative to the will of the Almighty Allah in my entire life,” an overjoyous Waiya emphasised.
Like Waiya, Shehu Sagagi said, “The will of the Almighty Allah has prevailed following his successful screening and subsequent confirmation as a Kano State Commissioner.”
