Updated: At last, Ganduje submits commissioner-nominees to Assembly

After a long period of anxiety, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano has  finally submitted names of  commissioner-nominees to the House of Assembly for screening likely to commence Tuesday.

Speaker of the House of Assembly, Alhaji Abdulazeez Garba-Gafasa, announced receipt of the letter from the governor at plenary on Monday.

According to the speaker, who presided over the session, other names include Ma’azu Magaji, Nura Muhammad-Dankade, Zahra’u Umar-Muhammad, Aminu Ibrahim-Tsanyawa, Sadiq Aminu-Wali, Muhammad Baffa-Takai and Kabiru Ado-Lakwaya.

Others are Mariya Mahmoud-Bunkure, Ibrahim Ahmad-Karaye, Mahmoud Muhammad-Dansantsi, Muhammad Sanusi-Sa’id and Lawan Abdullahi-Musa, he said.

Garba-Gafasa called on the nominees to appear before the House on Tuesday for the screening, urging them to come only with two persons and not a crowd.

The names of Comrade Mohammed Garba, Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo and Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso did not come to many in the state as surprise, considering their stellar performance in the defunct cabinet in addition to the spectacular role they played in projecting the image for the state government.

Comrade Garba was also widely believed to have effectively oiled the information machinery of the Ganduje administration to the satisfaction of relevant stakeholders in both the media and political circles, using his professional acumen in lifting the profile of the administration.
