Governor Bala Mohammed has approved Aminu Hammayo’s appointment as the state government’s new secretary.

This was disclosed in a statement on Friday.

It explained that Hammayo had replaced Ibrahim Kashim, who resigned his appointment on December 13.

It described the new SSG as a seasoned administrator and public servant who served Bauchi with distinction in various capacities.

“He was a one-time SSG, and until his new appointment, he was the commissioner for budget and multilateral coordination,” said the statement.

The governor also approved the appointment of Hashimu Kumbala as his principal private secretary.

Mr Kumbala will provide critical administrative and advisory support to the governor and ensure effective communication and coordination within the government.

“He was a retired permanent secretary, and until his new appointment, he was the special adviser to the governor on general services,” the statement noted.

The appointments reflected Mr Mohammed’s commitment to effective governance and vision for a more inclusive and progressive administration, said the statement.
