Abba Kabir Yusuf Proposes Five Commissioner Nominees
On October 21, 2026, Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf submitted a list of five nominees for commissioner positions to the Kano State House of Assembly. The Speaker of the House, Hon. Jibril Isma’ila Falgore, announced the nominees during an assembly sitting.
The nominees include Hon. Ibrahim Namadi Dala, Hon. Muktar Ishaq Yakasai, Hon. Sani Lawan Manunfashi, Hon. Aminu Ibrahim Tsanyawa, and Hon. Idris Garba Mustapha. Currently, several ministries in Kano State lack commissioners, including the Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Youth Development, and the newly merged Ministry of Higher Education with the Ministry of Education.
Other ministries without commissioners include the Ministry of Internal Security and the Ministry of Water Resources, which are currently overseen by the commissioner for Environment. The vacancies arose following the governor and his team’s shift from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
