Another Commissioner in the Kano State Executive Council has resigned from office, the second this year.
Major General Muhammad Inuwa Idris (rtd), Commissioner for Internal Security and Special Services, threw in the towel over undisclosed reasons.
Approval for his resignation has already been confirmed in a statement issued by Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, spokesperson to the State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
The spokesman stated that Gov. Yusuf has formally accepted the resignation, expressing appreciation for the retired Army General’s contributions during his tenure.
Idris’ exit came after the Commissioner for Project Monitoring and Evaluation, Mohammed Diggol, resigned earlier this year.
Major General Idris was appointed in August 2024 as the pioneer Commissioner of the newly-created Ministry.
During his brief tenure, he played a key role in establishing the framework for the Ministry’s operations.
In the official statement, Gov. Yusuf wrote: “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.”
While no reason was given for his sudden resignation, the governor expressed confidence that his yet-to-be-named successor would build on the foundation laid by Idris to ensure the Ministry operates effectively.
