Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has called on the new Deputy Governor of the state, Alhaji Nasiru Yusuf-Gawuna, to be transparent, loyal, sincere and dedicated in the discharge of his duties.
The new Deputy Governor was sworn-in on Wednesday at a ceremony presided over by Ganduje.
The oath of office was administered by the State Deputy Chief Judge, Justice Nura Sagir.
The event took place at the Coronation Hall, Government House Kano.
“You are advised to abide by the oath of office to be transparent, prudent, ensure probity and justice, and contribute your quota to the development of the state and the country at large,” Gannduje told his new deputy.
The governor said Yusuf-Gawuna was coming into the job with vast administrative experience and sincerity of purpose.
He announced that the new deputy governor would continue to serve as Commissioner for Agriculture, the position he held in the government before his elevation.
Ganduje, who commended state lawmakers for the prompt screening and confirmation of the Deputy Governor, called for continued cooperation between the legislative and the executive to ensure good governance.
The position of Deputy Governor became vacant following the resignation of Prof. Hafiz Abubakar on August 5.
