Kano State House of Assembly has confirmed the appointment of Murtala Sule Garo as the new Deputy Governor of the state.
This followed the adoption of the report of the house ad hoc committee on his screening at plenary, presided over by Speaker, Jibril Isma’il Falgore.
Presenting the report, the Chairman of the committee and Deputy Speaker of the house, Muhammad Bello, said the nomination of Garo followed the resignation of the former Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo.
He said that the screening was conducted in line with Section 191(3)(c) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), which empowered the house to approve a nominee in the event of a vacancy.
Bello said that Garo underwent a comprehensive screening process, including an extensive question-and-answer session covering his educational background, professional experience, understanding of governance, and vision for the state. His credentials were also thoroughly verified.
He added that Garo demonstrated a clear understanding of the responsibilities of the office and presented a workable vision to support the administration of Gov. Abba Yusuf in delivering on its mandate.
Bello said that the committee recommended his confirmation as the Deputy Governor based on its findings.
The report was unanimously adopted by the House, after a voice vote by the Speaker, Jibril Isma’il Falgore, thereby confirming Garo as the Deputy Governor of the state.
The house also reaffirmed its commitment to work with the executives to promote good governance, accountability, and the overall development of the state.
