Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has sworn in 14 new commissioners.
Speaking during the ceremony in Lafia on Wednesday, Governor Sule explained that the 14 commissioners were carefully selected from across the 13 local government areas of the state in order to get the best hands that would join him in taking Nasarawa to greater heights.
He said, “It is important to state that this administration cherishes hard work, dedication, commitment, loyalty and selfless service. I should, however, remind you all of my usual call that public service is public trust. You are, therefore, coming at the most trying time of this administration.
“This is because the people are yearning for more dividends of democracy and the administration is in the last lap of its first tenure. You must discharge your duties bearing in mind our principles of accountability, probity, loyalty and prudent management of public resources”.
He commended the Speaker and members of the House of Assembly for the accelerated screening and confirmation of the commissioners and promised to continue to collaborate with the legislative arm of government in order to ensure speedy growth and development of the state.
The new commissioners include Yakubu Kwanta from Akwanga Local Government Area, Hannatu Abimiku from Lafia LGA, Yusuf Turaki from Awe LGA, Aishatu Ibrahim from Awe LGA, Salihu Enah from Doma LGA, Umar Gurku from Karu LGA, Nuhu Oshafu from Keana LGA, Idris Mohammed-Idris from Keffi LGA and Abdulkareem Kana from Kokona LGA.
Others are Mohammed Sarki from Lafia LGA, Fatu Sabo from Nasarawa LGA, Yakubu Lawal from Nassarawa Eggon LGA, Daniel Agyeno from Obi LGA, Ahmed Baba-Yahaya from Toto LGA and Lucky Yargwa from Wamba LGA.”
