Governo Mai Mala Buni has approved the appointment of Garba Bilal as the substantive head of the Yobe civil service.

In a letter signed by the governor on Thursday in Damaturu, the appointment took effect from Wednesday.

“I wish to convey your appointment as the head of the civil service, Yobe state. Your appointment into this excellent office is predicated on your performance, dedication to duty and excellent records of service,” he said. “This appointment is with effect from 9th November, 2022.”

The governor wished Bilal well in discharging his duties, noting that it was a well-deserved appointment.

“It is my sincere hope that you will work hard to justify the confidence reposed in you by this confirmation and strive hard towards repositioning the Yobe state civil service,” Mr Buni said.

The governor had on April 6 appointed Mr Bilal as the acting head of civil service of Yobe.

Until his appointment, Mr Bilal was a permanent secretary at the ministry of environment.
