Sokoto Assembly confirms appointment of Gov. Aliyu’s 17 special advisers
The Sokoto State House of Assembly confirmed on Tuesday the appointment of 17 special advisers to Governor Ahmad Aliyu.
At a plenary session, the Speaker of the House, Tukur Bala, presented the governor’s letter requesting the House to approve and confirm the appointment of his aides.
According to him, the request is in accordance with Section 196 and other relevant sections of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended.
“This is on the appointment of any person to the post of Special Advisers, following due consultations in line with relevant procedures as contained in the enabling regulations.
“This is also in consideration of the government’s desire to fast-track developmental programmes across the state, which will require more hands of assistance,” he added.
The lawmakers, thereafter, adopted the request when the speaker put the matter to a voice vote.
