According to a statement by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Ibraheem Musa, on Wednesday, the appointments and redeployments took effect immediately.

Prof. Sambo, a professor of energy studies, brings a wealth of experience to his new role.

He has served as Vice Chancellor of Kaduna State University and Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, and Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria.

His appointment is expected to boost the state’s education sector, given his impressive track record in academia and administration.

Her appointment is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the state’s youth development initiatives.

The governor congratulated the new appointees and wished them God’s guidance and protection in their new assignments.

With these appointments, Governor Sani’s administration demonstrates its commitment to driving development and progress in Kaduna State.

The redeployment of Prof. Sani Bello to the Ministry of Information is also seen as a strategic move to leverage his expertise in the newly created ministry.

The Ministry of Information is expected to play a critical role in promoting the state’s image and disseminating information to the public.

The appointments and redeployment are a welcome development in Kaduna State, and the new appointees are expected to hit the ground running to deliver on their respective mandates.
