Kano House of Assembly confirms seven commissioner nominees

On Tuesday, the Kano State House of Assembly confirms seven candidates that the state governor, Abba Yusuf, had sent for consideration to join the state executive council. 

After three and a half hours of thorough vetting, the nominees were unanimously accepted as Commissioners-designate, and the confirmation came after that. 

Speaker Jibril Falgore revealed that the confirmation came after the lawmakers' resolve at the ad hoc committee when he made the announcement during the plenary. 

As you may remember, on Monday, Falgore read the executive bill that included six nominees for consideration and potential approval as state commissioners.

The Speaker also announced the addition of Nura Iro Ma'aji to the original list of nominees. Those verified at the end of the day were Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), who was dismissed due to health concerns, and former Chief of Staff Shehu Wada Sagaji, who was relieved of his duties last Thursday. 

Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, Gaddafi Sani Shehu, Ibrahim Wayya, Dr. Dahiru Hashim Muhammad, and Dr. Ismail Aliyu Dannaraya are among the other commissioners appointed.
