Zulum swears in 19 new commissioners
Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno on Monday swore in 19 new Commissioners.
The swearing-in comes two months after Mr Zulum dissolved the State Executive Council ahead of the All Progressives Congress primaries.
The chief judge of Borno, Kashim Zanna, administered the oath of office to the commissioners through the representation of a High Court judge, Fadawu Umaru.
The event also witnessed the swearing-in of a new permanent secretary, Abu Abadam, a senior director at the ministry of water resources.
The governor urged the new officials to exhibit exemplary leadership and diligence in the running of government affairs. Mr Zulum said all commissioners should form working relationships with their permanent secretaries.
He said the commissioners should hold regular meetings with stakeholders in their ministries and forward resolutions and recommendations to him through the office of the SSG.
He urged them to take the lead in promoting punctuality at work, reminding them that office hours remained 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. except on Fridays when work ends at noon.
