Abba Yusuf Reshuffles Cabinet, Moves Waiya To Youth And Sports Ministry

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has sworn in six new commissioners, three advisers and 19 Permanent Secretaries as part of a fresh administrative restructuring of his government.

The swearing-in ceremony followed the confirmation of the six commissioner nominees by the Kano State House of Assembly.

According to Bush Radio Academy, the newly appointed commissioners include Air Commodore Salisu Yusha’u (rtd.), who will oversee the Ministry of Internal Security and Special Services; Hon. Ibrahim Namadi Dala, assigned to the Ministry of Investment; and Professor Sani Lawan Manunfashi, appointed Commissioner for Higher Education.

Others are Hon. Muktar Ishaq Yakasai, who will head the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation; Dr. Aminu Ibrahim Tsanyawa, appointed Commissioner for Science and Technology; and Hon. Idris Garba Mustapha, who will oversee the Ministry of Special Duties.

Beyond the new appointments, Governor Yusuf also announced changes to the existing cabinet as part of efforts to reorganise the administration.

Under the new arrangement, Dr. Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, who previously served as Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, has been redeployed to the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development.

Similarly, Hamza Kachaco has been moved to the Ministry of Environment following the latest cabinet reshuffle.

However, the Ministries of Information and Internal Affairs, as well as Solid Minerals and Mineral Resources, remain without commissioners after the changes.

The latest appointments and redeployments form part of Governor Yusuf’s ongoing efforts to restructure his cabinet and strengthen the administration of government affairs across Kano State.
