KADUNA: Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has reminded political office holders that their focus must be on the citizens of Kaduna State – because they are their servants, saying, “The people’s interests are paramount.”
The governor gave this advice after swearing-in a batch of newly-appointed Commissioners: Professor Abubakar Sani Sambo (for Education); Barrister Gloria Ibrahim (for Youth Development); Mrs Jummai Bako (as Head of Service), as well as other senior government officials.
Governor Uba Sani also challenged them to help the administration to “leave a lasting legacy by ensuring that you think out of the box, while keeping the box in view.”
He implored the new political appointees to “roll-up your sleeves and hit the ground running. You have been called to serve the good people of Kaduna State because you all possess the skills and competences to contribute effectively to the rebuilding and renewing of our dear state.”
The governor reminded them that, “It is by working as a team that we shall succeed. We must avoid working in silos. If we operate independently with limited communication or collaboration, success will be hindered.”
According to him, the administration has rapidly transformed rural and urban communities through massive infrastructural development, revival and revitalization of the health and educational sectors.
“In the last two years, the Government has been frontally fighting poverty, and strengthening our partnership with security forces to secure our dear state,” the governor added.
Other appointees that were sworn-in include, Hon Ado Dogo Audu, Counselor on Political Matters; Special Adviser on Economic Matters, Ahmad Shehu Haruna and Special Adviser on Political Affairs, Hon Abubakar Shehu Giwa, as well as Special Adviser Local Government Affairs, Hon Kabiru Yakubu Jarimi.
