Gov. Aminu Masari of Katsina State has approved the appointment of Alhaji Aminu Abdulmumini-Kabir, Magajin Garin Katsina, as the Chairman of the State’s Muslims Pilgrims Welfare Board.
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Muntari Lawal, announced this in a statement he signed and issued to newsmen on Tuesday in Katsina.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Gov Masari had terminated the appointment of Alhaji Yusuf Barmo as the Chairman of the board, among three other top officials of the state government.
“The Governor affirmed that the appointment of Abdulmumini-Kabir is in recognition of his outstanding qualities and performance exhibited at different capacities in the service of the state.
“Gov. Masari also seized this opportunity to congratulate the appointee and charged him to put in his best and vast experience in the overall welfare of the board,” the SSG said.
NAN reports that the appointee is the biological son of the present Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmumin Kabair-Usman, and a traditional title holder in the council. (NAN)
