Four commissioners in the immediate past administration in Katsina State and 16 others have been shortlisted for appointment as commissioners by governor Dikko Umaru Radda.
The former commissioners are Professor Badamasi Lawal (Education), Musa Adamu (Water Resources), Hamza Suleiman Faskari (Environment) and Dr. Bashir Gambo Saulawa (Sports).
Others are Prof Ahmed Mohammed Bakori, Ishaq Shehu Dabai, Nasiru Mu’azu, Bala M. Salisu, Prof Abdulhamid Ahmed, Yusuf Rabi’u Jirdede, Aliyu Lawal Zakari and Fadila Muhammad.
Governor Radda also named Hamza Sulieman, Isa Muhammad Musa, Dr. Sani Magaji, Dr. Faisal Umar Kaita, Bello Hussaini Kagara, Hadiza yar’adua, Zainab. M. Musawa and Adnan Nahabu.
The list which had been submitted to the state House of Assembly was read on the floor of the house by the majority Leader of the House Shamsu Gambo Dabai.
21st CENTURY CHRONICLE reports that if all the nominees pass the screening and subsequently confirmed, one of them Musa Adamu from Funtua will now be serving the third governor consecutively.
Adamu served as Commissioner for Sports and then Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in former Governor Ibrahim Shema’s first tenure. In the second tenure, Adamu was Commissioner for Agriculture.
Adamu, who could best be described as a cat with nine lives, returned as commissioner in the administration of Bello Masari where he served in the Ministry of Water Resources.
The ‘Super Commissioner’ has again made the list on Radda’s nomination.
