Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has approved a minor reshuffle in his cabinet and adjustments in senior civil service postings to enhance efficiency in governance and service delivery.

 

The governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa, in a statement on Monday night, said the changes affected the Ministries of Justice, Transport, Environment and Humanitarian Affairs.

 

Under the new arrangement, Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Haruna Isa Dederi, will now head the Ministry of Transport. The Solicitor-General and Permanent Secretary of the Justice Ministry, Mustapha Nuruddeen Muhammad, has been redeployed as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Environment.
