According to the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, Mr Ibrahim was chosen for his extensive experience and expertise, which would play a crucial role in advancing the administration’s development agenda.
Mr Yusuf expressed confidence that Mr Ibrahim’s appointment would significantly contribute to realising his administration’s vision for the state.
He emphasised the importance of experienced leadership in steering the state toward sustained development and growth.
