Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has reinstated the state Ministry of Information that was scrapped by the administration of his predecessor, Nasir El-Rufai.
The governor also redeployed the Commissioner of Education, Professor Mohammed Sani- Bello, to head the new ministry, while a former Director General of Energy Commission of Nigeria, Professor Abubakar Sani Sambo, is appointed as the new Commissioner of Education.
Sambo was a former Director General of Energy Commission of Nigeria and former Special Adviser to the President on Energy.
In a statement, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ibraheem Musa, said the governor also appointed Gloria Ibrahim as the Commissioner for Youth Development.
The statement added that the appointments and redeployment are with immediate effect.
Congratulating the appointees, Governor Uba Sani says he expects the Education Commissioner Professor Sambo to reinvigorate the Kaduna State Education Ministry to deliver on his administration’s agenda, which is aimed at improving access to education, building and rehabilitating infrastructure, enhancing the capacity of teachers, harnessing the capacity of ICT, prioritising girl-child education and strengthening security in schools.
While on the other hand, the Commissioner for Youth Development is expected to fashion out creative, innovative and implementable programmes and projects to make the Ministry a leading center for high impact solutions for youth related issues in line with Governor Sani’s focus on youth empowerment.
