Kano assembly confirms Murtala Garo as deputy governor
The Kano State House of Assembly has confirmed Murtala Garo as the new deputy governor of the state following a successful screening.
The confirmation followed the presentation and adoption of the ad hoc committee’s report during a plenary presided over by the Speaker, Jibril Falgore, on Monday.
Deputy Speaker Muhammad Bello, while presenting the report, explained that Mr Garo’s nomination came after the resignation of former Deputy Governor Aminu Gwarzo.
He said that the screening was conducted in line with Section 191(3)(c) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which empowers the Assembly to approve a nominee in the event of a vacancy.
According to the committee, Mr Garo underwent a comprehensive screening process covering his educational background, professional experience, understanding of governance, and vision for the state.
The committee also observed that Mr Garo demonstrated a clear grasp of the office’s responsibilities and presented a workable vision to support Gov. Abba Yusuf in delivering on his mandate.
Based on its findings, the committee recommended his confirmation, which the House unanimously adopted.
The Assembly also reaffirmed its commitment to working with the executive arm to promote good governance, accountability, and the overall development of the state.
