Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has sworn in two new commissioners, appointing his former Director‑General of Media and Publicity Sanusi Tofa and former Speaker of the state House of Assembly Balarabe Gani to the state’s executive council.
Sanusi Tofa, who previously served as the governor’s Director‑General of Media and Publicity, was among the officials sworn in during the ceremony. His prior role involved managing the governor’s communications and public relations strategy.
Balarabe Gani, a former Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, also took the oath of office as a commissioner. Gani’s experience includes presiding over legislative proceedings and overseeing the passage of state laws.
The swearing‑in ceremony marks the latest reshuffle of Kano’s cabinet, as Governor Yusuf seeks to fill key positions within the state’s administration. Both appointees will now assume the responsibilities of their respective ministries, though the specific portfolios were not detailed in the announcement.
Kano State, located in northern Nigeria, is one of the country’s most populous states and a major economic hub. The new appointments are part of the governor’s ongoing effort to strengthen his administration ahead of upcoming policy initiatives.
