Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the governor of Kano state, on Sunday authorised the Head of Civil Service, Usman Bala Muhammad (mni), to take immediate charge of the Governor’s Office of Chief of Staff.
Usman Bala Muhammad, who was named Head of Service in April, had worked as Ganduje’s Chief of Staff during the administration’s early years.

The appointment followed Ali Makoda’s spectacular departure as ex-chief of staff, who had since bolstered the ranks of the New Nigeria People’s Party in Kano.
The oversight will be suspended pending the appointment of a substantive Chief of Staff, according to a statement released by the Information Commissioner, Malam Muhammad Garba.
The governor stated his desire for good supervision and coordination by the Head of Service, who has previously held the position.
