Jigawa State governor Malam Umar Namadi has sworn-in 16 commissioners to constitute his executive council members and charged them to work on principles of public trust, probity, accountability and fear of Allah.
The new commissioners were sworn in after being nominated by the governor and screened by the State House of Assembly.
Speaking shortly after administrating the oath of office and designating ministries to the commissioners, Governor Namadi said all the commissioners were carefully selected based on their track record of integrity, dedication, professionalism and selfless service to humanity.
“As a new governor I need competent and capable hands who can help me in fulfilling campaign promises and take Jigawa to great heights. And God in His infinite mercy and wisdom choose you, please, don’t let me down.
“However, it is important to state that this administration cherishes hard work, dedication, commitment, loyalty and selfless service,” he said.
He reminded the commissioners that public service is public trust, adding that he would not tolerate any breach of that trust.
