The state Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mu’azu Magaji, sacked for celebrating the death of the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, has been reappointed Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
This is coming barely a few hours after the governor also reinstated his Special Adviser on Media, Salihu Yakasai, suspended for criticising the President, Major General Muhammadu (retd.), in the wake of the #EndSARS protests.
Announcing Magaji’s re-appointment on Thursday via Twitter, Yakasai said Ganduje named the sacked commissioner as the State Chairman of the NNPC-AKK Pipeline Project Delivery and Kano State Industrialisation Committee.
The AKK project aims at resolving the power deficit challenge in the country.
Magaji’s appointment was contained in a letter signed on Thursday by the Permanent Secretary, Research, Evaluation and Political Affairs Directorate, Office of the Secretary to the Kano State Government, Bilikisu Maimota.
