Forum of Nigerian Commissioners of Local Government has announced the appointment of Kano State deputy governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam, as its new interim chairman.
The decision was made during the forum’s maiden meeting on Saturday in Abuja, where commissioners from across the country gathered to discuss and strategise on key issues affecting local governments in Nigeria.
Abdussalam, who is currently the commissioner for local government and chieftaincy affairs in Kano State, will bring his wealth of experience and track record of excellence in local government administration to his new role.
This is contained in a statement issued by Ibrahim Garba, press secretary to the deputy governor, and made available to newsmen in Kano weekend.
Ibrahim stated that the appointment is a significant step towards strengthening local government administration and promoting collaboration among commissioners nationwide.
In his acceptance speech, Abdussalam expressed gratitude for his colleagues’ confidence in him and reiterated his commitment to advancing the forum’s objectives.
“I am honoured to serve as the chairman of this esteemed forum. Together, we will work tirelessly to promote effective local governance, improve service delivery, and ensure that our communities thrive,” he said.
The Forum of Nigerian Commissioners of Local Government plays a significant role in shaping policies and driving initiatives that enhance the capabilities of local governments across Nigeria.
