The Borno State House of Assembly has approved 20 special advisers for Governor Kashim Shettima.
Although the Governor had requested for 40 Special Advisers, it was reduced to 20 following a motion by Hon. Mohammed Zakariya.
The Speaker, Alhaji Abdulkarim Lawal said at the plenary session that the reduction was due to the state’s financial position, as well as to check the cost of governance.
However, a member of the House, who did not want his name in print told DAILY POST that the refusal was as a result of the Governor’s inability to lobby members.
In another development, the speaker announced Hon. Ayuba Wukawa, representing Hawul Constituency, as the Deputy House Leader, and Alhaji Audu Mustapha, representing Magumeri Constituency as the Chief Whip.
