Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has reinforced his administration’s commitment to merit-based public service by swearing in 19 Permanent Secretaries, recognising their experience, professional competence and contributions to the state civil service.
The appointments, which were formalised at a ceremony held at the Coronation Hall, Government House, Kano, are aimed at strengthening the administrative structure of government and ensuring effective coordination of public institutions.

He described the position as a critical pillar of the civil service, noting that Permanent Secretaries have a significant responsibility in ensuring continuity in governance, providing administrative leadership and translating government policies into practical results.
The Governor urged the newly appointed officials to see their elevation as a call to greater service rather than merely an achievement, reminding them that their positions require dedication, discipline and an unwavering commitment to the public interest.
He particularly charged them to uphold integrity, transparency and accountability, while ensuring that government decisions are implemented effectively and that public resources are managed responsibly.
Governor Yusuf further emphasised the need for teamwork, institutional coordination and professional conduct, urging the appointees to contribute meaningfully towards achieving the development objectives of his administration.
Those sworn in are Yusuf Aliyu Abubakar, Hajiya Aishatu Abdulkadir, Alhaji Muhammad Musbahu Yahuza, Hajiya Hauwa Nuhu Wali, Dr. Sani Lawan Gwarzo, Engr. Garba Dauda, Dr. Halima Ibrahim Mukhtar, Hannatu Ado Gwaram, Hajiya Rabi Ibrahim Waya and Hajiya Umma Dallatu.
