Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has dismissed insinuations regarding the recent cabinet reshuffling, which affected the Chief of Staff, Secretary to the State Government, and five commissioners.

In a statement issued by Sanusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa, his spokesperson, Governor Yusuf said: “In recent times, we made some decisions in the administration, including a cabinet reshuffle. As a result of this action, some lost their positions in the cabinet, while others were reassigned to serve in other capacities. Let me remind the public that this action was taken in the best interest of the people of Kano.”

Governor Yusuf stressed that the need to drop some commissioners became pertinent to inject renewed energy that would strengthen the government’s policies.

With the appointment of seven new commissioners, who were recently screened and cleared by the state assembly, Governor Yusuf emphasised that the cabinet is reinvigorated with fresh ideas to drive the social and infrastructural development of the state.

“We have promised to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people. Unfortunately, we are already short of time to deliver what we promised, so we need to effect changes to speed up the process. We have reshuffled the cabinet to improve the system.

“Let me also say that we have not dropped those affected for life. We have other roles for them, so I want everybody to accept the decision as it is. As for those who were reassigned, we urge them to bring their previous experiences to bear in their new roles,” the governor said.

Meanwhile, he announced that the new commissioners would join the next executive council meeting, and their respective portfolios would be announced.

The management of Kwara State University, Malete, said the institution is not affiliated with Lamido School of Hygiene and Health Sciences, Gombe.

The registrar of the university, Dr Kikelomo Sallee, disclosed this in a statement in Ilorin on Wednesday.

The statement read in part: “The attention of the management of Kwara State University, KWASU, Malete, Kwara State, has been drawn to a fraudulent advertisement for admission into Lamido School of Hygiene and Health Sciences, Gombe, an institution purportedly affiliated with Kwara State University, KWASU, Malete, Kwara State.

“The management of Kwara State University, Malete, states emphatically that KWASU has no affiliation with Lamido School of Hygiene and Health Sciences or any of its study centres in Gombe State or any location.

“The public is thus alerted that anyone who transacts with Lamido School of Hygiene and Health Sciences with the aim of securing admission into Kwara State University, KWASU, Malete, does so at their own risk.”
