By Muhammad Ibrahim, Sokoto
Gov. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto state has sworn-in Hon. Aminu Bala Bodinga as a new Commissioner in his cabinet.
Bodinga hitherto billed to be sworn-in weeks ago, was however away for Hajj. He was among the erstwhile commissioners who voluntarily resigned to seek elective positions.
Also sworn-in is the new Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Muhammad Mainasara Ahmad (Mni). He replaces the former SSG, Alhaji Saidu Umar, who is now the Sokoto state Gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic (PDP).
At the brief ceremony held at Government House, Sokoto, Gov. Tambuwal enjoined the new appointees to use their wealth of experience in the administration of the state, urging to develop synergy with other ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) in the state.
While congratulating them on their well deserved appointments, the Governor appealed to the people of the state to exercise patience over the shortage of water supply in the state.
He said the state Government is doing its possible best to remedy situation exacerbated by lack of power supply across the country, skyrocketing price of diesel and associated costs.
