Umar Ganduje,
governor of Kano, has appointed three senior special assistants to handle
issues on streetlights in the state.
In a letter dated
February 10, the secretary to the state government notified Anwalu Salihu of
his appointment as the senior special assistant, streetlights III.
According to the
letter, the appointment was based on his ”dedication to duty, patriotic
disposition and loyalty”.
“This is to formally
convey to you that His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kano State Dr.
Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, OFR has approved your appointment as Senior Special
Assistant, Street Lights III with effect from 10th February, 2020,” it read.
“Your appointment
into this position of trust and confidence was made upon careful assessment of
your credentials, competence, track record of performance, dedication to duty,
vast experience, patriotic disposition and expressed loyalty. It is hoped that
you will employ these qualities to bear towards ensuring effective discharge of
your assigned duties.
“As we move the
state to Next Level of development, it is my sincere hope that you will live
above board and justify the confidence reposed in you by the Government. I pray
God in his infinite mercy accord you the wisdom and determination to execute
the assignment diligently and to the expectation of the administration. Accept
my congratulations, please.”
In a phone interview
on Monday, Salihu Yakasai, the governor’s spokesman, confirmed the appointment,
and said there were three senior special assistants on streetlights.
He told TheCable
that the aides would report to the commissioner of works and infrastructure,
and not directly to the governor.
Yakasai said the
senior special assistants on streetlights will handle issues concerning
generators and diesel used in powering the streetlights.
“It is true. They
are one of the special assistants. Even though their title reads special
assistant to the governor, but they are reporting to the commissioner.
“The Kano
metropolitan area is divided into clusters. Each cluster has different areas
and their responsibility is to ensure that all the streetlights are
functioning. We use generators to power the streetlights, so they ensure that
there is constant supply of diesel.
“It is just in
partnership with the ministry of works. There are three special assistants on
streetlights but they report to the commissioner of works and infrastructure.”
