Naija News reports that Governor Lawal presided over the Zamfara State Executive Council meeting on Monday, during which the new commissioner was officially sworn in.
According to a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, the reshuffle involved minor adjustments to the portfolios of various commissioners.
The statement further indicated that Kaura’s appointment was necessitated by the resignation of Mannir Muazu Haidara, who was elected as Chairman of the Kaura Namoda Local Government Area.
In his remarks during the swearing-in ceremony, Governor Lawal emphasized that Kaura was chosen to represent the Kaura Namoda Local Government Area in the cabinet due to his exemplary service to both his community and the state at large.
The governor affirmed that Kaura’s appointment reflects this administration’s commitment to leveraging the skills, knowledge, and experiences of dedicated citizens to enhance the delivery of democratic benefits and fulfil the rescue agenda for the people of Zamfara State.
“I urge the new Commissioner to rededicate himself to serving the people. As a central member of the rescue mission, I do not doubt that he will give his best for the benefit of all.
“Honorable Commissioner, I congratulate you on this call to duty and opportunity to serve. I pray for Allah’s guidance and protection upon you and us all. I urge you to work closely with your colleagues in the council and the Ministry on your assignment to realize the good of all,” Governor Lawal said.
The governor reiterated that he has carefully assessed the skills, abilities, and performance of all senior government officials, which led to the minor reshuffling of the cabinet.
“To enhance efficiency and effectiveness in fulfilling our mandate, I believe making some minor adjustments within the Cabinet is necessary. In service delivery, I will continue to demand all senior appointees to put in their best and monitor every one of you so that we have square pegs in square holes.
“Therefore, I have approved the following postings and redeployments with immediate effect. The newly appointed commissioner, Kasimu Sani Kaura, will take over as the commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, succeeding Hon. Mahmud Mohammed Abdullahi, who has been reassigned to the Ministry of Information and Culture.
“Hon. Nasiru Ibrahim Zurmi has taken over as the Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, replacing Hon. Kabiru Moyi, who has been reassigned to Project Monitoring and Implementation.
“Additionally, Dr. Nafisa Muhammad has been moved to the Ministry of Health, taking over from Dr. Aisha M. Za Anka, now the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development.
“All hand-over protocols are to be concluded within seven days. I wish to remind you once more that I will periodically monitor and evaluate the performance of all appointees as we approach our mid-term in office. Let us use this time to recommit and rededicate ourselves to the service of our Zamfara State,” the governor said.
