Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has constituted a 46-member advisory council of renowned Islamic scholars, respected academics, and notable community leaders tasked with the responsibility of providing expert advice to his government.
Named the Shura Council, it is aimed at promoting inclusive governance and enhancing policymaking through community engagement, according to a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
Daily Trust reports that this is coming barely 24 hours after the Governor reshuffled his cabinet, dropping Secretary to the State Government, the Chief of Staff and five commissioners.
However, the former Chief of Staff, Shehu Wada Sagagi, has been appointed as Secretary and Head of Secretariat of the Shura Council who will oversee its operations to ensure efficiency and smooth coordination.
