Governor Muhammad Badaru of Jigawa has approved the appointment of Hameem Sunusi as the new Emir of Dutse.

The new emir succeeded his father, Muhammad Sunusi II, who died on January 31 at 79, after 28 years on the throne.

Secretary to the State Government, Abdulkadir Fanini, presented the letter of appointment to the new emir in Dutse on Sunday on behalf of the governor.

The governor said the new emir was chosen after carefully considering the names recommended by the kingmakers of the Dutse Emirate Council.

He urged the new emir to discharge his duties in the best interest of his people, without preference and unite them for the area’s progress.

Until his appointment, the new emir, born in 1979, held the title of Dan’iyan Dutse.

“On behalf of the Jigawa State Government, His Excellency, Governor Muhammad Badaru Abubakar has congratulated HRH Alhaji Hameem Nuhu Sanusi on his appointment and wished him a successful and peaceful reign as Emir of Dutse,” he said.

Responding, the new emir, who expressed gratitude to the governor for finding him worthy of the position, promised to justify the confidence reposed in him.

Mr Sunusi, who promised to operate an open-door policy, called for the support and cooperation of everyone in the emirate.
