Kano Governor Abba Yusuf Sacks Investment Commissioner

On Thursday, Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf announced the immediate dismissal of Shehu Sagagi from his position as Investment Commissioner. This decision was communicated through an official statement by the governor's spokesperson, Sunusi Batur.

Despite the abrupt nature of the dismissal, Governor Yusuf recognized Sagagi's notable contributions during his tenure, particularly in the areas of political and religious engagement, as well as support for small and medium enterprises. The governor's statement expressed a desire for Sagagi's success in future endeavors.

The restructuring move is part of a broader initiative aimed at enhancing the performance of government institutions to drive economic growth and ensure long-term development across Kano State. This dismissal follows a recent shake-up in the state's civil service, where Abdullahi Musa was relieved of his duties as head of service, with Bilkisu Shehu Maimota appointed as the acting permanent secretary in the administration's general services cabinet office.
