Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has approved a minor cabinet reshuffle and the redeployment of senior civil servants across key ministries in the state.
In a statement issued on Monday by his spokesperson, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, the governor said the decision was part of efforts to strengthen governance and improve service delivery.
According to the directive, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Haruna Dederi, has been reassigned to the Ministry of Transport.
Similarly, the Solicitor General and Permanent Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, has been redeployed to the Ministry of Environment as Permanent Secretary.
The Commissioner of Humanitarian Affairs, who had been overseeing the Ministry of Transport in an acting capacity, is to return to his substantive role.
The statement reads, “All officials affected by the reassignments are to formally hand over the affairs of their offices to the most senior official in the ministry.
“The handing over and taking over exercise is to be completed immediately, with effect from Tuesday, September 23, 2025, before close of business.”
Governor Yusuf reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to transparency and results-driven governance.
He said, “This redeployment is intended to maximise capacity, align responsibilities, and ensure that government delivers effective results on its mandate to the people of Kano State.
“We remain committed to accountability, efficiency, and purposeful leadership that meets the expectations of our citizens.”
He further urged appointees and civil servants to fully support the redeployed officials.
“I expect maximum cooperation from all concerned so that the transition is smooth and productive,” the governor added.
