The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has retained his Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Balarabe Abbas Lawal, and appointed other individuals to various positions in the state government.
Lawal, who was re-appointed as SSG, has been in the position since 2015 and has played a key role in the El-Rufai administration. His reappointment was met with mixed reactions from the public, as some believe that the Governor should have appointed a new SSG to bring fresh ideas and perspectives to the government.
Despite the concerns raised by some members of the public, El-Rufai defended his decision to retain Lawal, stating that he has proven himself to be competent and reliable in carrying out his duties.
In addition to retaining Lawal, the Governor also made other appointments, including appointing Chris Umar as the new Head of Service and Hussaini Gimba as the Director-General of the Kaduna State Transport Regulatory Authority.
The new appointments have been well-received by many in the state, with some members of the public commending the Governor for his efforts to bring new individuals into the government and provide opportunities for young people.
El-Rufai has been praised for his efforts to transform the state, with a focus on improving infrastructure, education, health care, and security. Despite criticism from some quarters, many believe that his reappointment of Lawal and appointment of new individuals to the government is a step in the right direction and will help to further develop the state.
