Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has appointed the immediate past Chairman of Kaduna South Local Government, Kabiru Jarimi as his Special Adviser on Local Government Affairs.

This is contained in a statement by Ibraheem Musa

Chief Press Secretary to Sani

Mr Jarimi is expected to bring his wealth of experience in Local Government Administration to bear on his new assignment.

Mr Musa said, “As the state government ramps up its rural transformation programme and forges strategic partnerships with Local Government Councils, Sani is bringing into its fold tested, innovative and resourceful persons. While urging Jarimi to approach his responsibility with commitment, dedication and fairness, the governor wishes him Allah’s guidance and protection.”

Mr Jarimi is an accomplished public official and strategic leader who

had served for two terms as the elected executive chairman of Kaduna South LGA.

He is recognised for pioneering community-centered policies, fostering sustainable development, and enhancing public service delivery.

According to Mr Musa, the appointment is with immediate effect.
