Kano governor swears in new housing commissioner
Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State on Monday swore in Ibrahim Wudil as the new commissioner for housing development.
The attorney-general and commissioner for justice, Haruna Dederi, administered the oath at Government House Kano.
After the swearing-in, Mr Yusuf urged Mr Wudil to utilise his extensive experience to drive the state’s development and congratulated him on his new role.
The governor urged Mr Wudil to ensure the effective utilisation of cities developed during the administration of Rabiu Kwankwaso, including Kwankwassiya, Bandirawo, and Amana cities.
The governor expressed confidence in Mr Wudil’s ability, citing his decades-long experience as an architect and his previous role as the managing director of the Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority.
“I’ve worked closely with him for decades, and I know his capacity. I am sure he will not let us down,” the governor said.
The governor appealed to the new commissioner to use his vast experience in addressing the challenge of the state’s housing deficit.
The secretary to the state government (SSG), Umar Ibrahim, commissioners and other top government functionaries attended the ceremony.
