Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has accepted the resignation of his commissioner for the newly created Ministry of Internal Security

The Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has accepted the resignation of his commissioner for the newly created Ministry of Internal Security and Special Services, Muhammad Inuwa Idris.

Mr Idris was sworn-in as commissioner of the new ministry in August 2024.
Recall that on January 5, the state commissioner for Project Monitoring and Evaluation, Mohammed Diggol, resigned.

In a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson Sunusi Dawakin Tofa, the governor expressed his deep gratitude to Mr Idris, a retired major-general, for his service to the state within his short tenure, acknowledging his contributions to initial take-off of the ministry.

Mr Yusuf also extended his best wishes to the former commissioner, describing him as a dedicated public servant and a patriotic Nigerian.

“We thank Major General Muhammad Inuwa Idris (Rtd) for his unwavering commitment and contributions to the development of Kano State right from his days in the military career, we wish him a peaceful and fulfilling retirement as he transitions into a well-deserved rest from public service,” the governor said.

His tenure, though brief, has been credited with laying a solid foundation for the ministry’ take-off which the governor believes that his successor can build on to set a pace for operations of the new ministry.
