KANO State governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has sent names of 19 commissioner-nominees to the state House of Assembly for screening and approval.
The Speaker of the Assembly, Honourable Yusuf Falgore, disclosed this on Tuesday while reading the governor’s letter of request during plenary.
The commissioner nominees were urged to show up at the assembly complex on Wednesday (today) at 10:00 a.m. for screening.
