The Dawakin Tofa Academic Forum (DAF) and the Dawakin Tofa Education Trust Fund (DETFnd) have honored Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa for his exceptional efforts in advancing education for students in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area.

Sunusi Bature, who serves as the spokesperson for Kano State governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, received this recognition during a visit by the forum to his office on Tuesday.

The commendation was delivered through a letter of appreciation presented by Dr. Mamunu Mustapha on behalf of the two organizations.

The letter highlighted Sunusi Bature’s steadfast support for numerous students from Dawakin Tofa, particularly those enrolled in degree programmes at Bayero University Kano (BUK).

His generous contribution, which included covering registration fees for the 2023/2024 academic session, has relieved many students of financial burdens, allowing them to focus on their studies.

In addition to his support for BUK students, Sunusi Bature’s commitment extends to other institutions as well.

He has provided similar assistance to students attending the Kano State Polytechnic’s School of Science and Allied Health Sciences in Gwamai, further broadening educational access for young people in the local government area.

DAF and DETFnd emphasized that Sunusi Bature’s dedication to improving educational opportunities in Dawakin Tofa has been instrumental in helping more students pursue higher education.

They urged him to continue his efforts to raise educational standards and provide greater opportunities for the youth within the community.

This recognition underscores the significant role that leaders like Sunusi Bature play in nurturing the next generation.

His actions not only support individual students but also contribute to the overall development of the community by ensuring that young people have the resources and opportunities they need to succeed academically and beyond.

In his short response, Sanusi Bature said he is duty bound to support the educational transformation of Dawakin Tofa Local Government.

“As you are all aware, the first priority of His Excellency is education, so we are doing our very little efforts to support the overall education agenda of the present administration”

Kano State Head of Service Denies Claims of Political Rift Behind Senior Civil Service Postings

Published

on

The Office of the Head of Civil Service in Kano State has strongly rejected a recent news report that linked the appointment of new Permanent Secretaries and Directors to an alleged rift within the ruling party.

In a statement issued on November 6, 2024, Abdullahi Musa, the Head of Civil Service, categorically dismissed the claims as “false, mischievous, and a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.”

Musa clarified that the recent postings were part of routine administrative procedures aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the state’s civil service. He explained that the moves were necessary to fill vacancies created by the imminent retirements of senior civil servants, particularly the Permanent Secretaries and Directors affected by the annulled tenure elongation plan, set to take effect in December.

“These postings were not influenced by political considerations or interpersonal conflicts,” Musa emphasized. “They are standard administrative actions designed to improve the functionality of our Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).”

The Head of Service also condemned the media report for suggesting that the reshuffling of senior officials was a reaction to a political divide, asserting that such claims were unfounded and aimed at creating unnecessary discord within the state’s leadership.

Musa reaffirmed that the civil service in Kano State remains apolitical and committed to functioning independently of political dynamics. He urged the public and media outlets to rely on verified information and avoid spreading rumors that could undermine the state’s stability.

“The Office of the Head of Civil Service remains fully committed to ensuring the smooth operation of the civil service and fostering a harmonious relationship among all branches of government,” he concluded.

Musa also called on media outlets and citizens to focus on factual reporting and refrain from amplifying false narratives that could erode public trust in the administration’s decisions.

Cour order mental evaluation for Kano woman after strange theft case testimony

Kano Woman Facing Theft Charges Claims She’s “Above Theft,” Demands 200,000 Naira, and Alleges Stolen Belongings Taken from Her Stomach.

On Tuesday a theft case took an unusual turn at the Sharia Court in Kano’s Kurna area after the defendant, Hajara Ibrahim, made a series of perplexing statements, leading the court to order a mental health evaluation.

Hajara, who was brought before the court on theft charges, declared that she was “above committing theft” and insisted that she would only respond to the accusations if her case were taken before the Emir of Kano.

As the proceedings continued, her behavior grew stranger.

When asked if she had any mental health issues, she ignored the question.

In another exchange, when the judge asked her to identify the ceiling fans in the courtroom, she retorted that no one had the authority to make her look at a fan.

Hajara further shocked the court by demanding 200,000 Naira for “medical expenses” and claimed that some of her belongings had been mysteriously taken from her stomach.

The case took a new twist when a man identified himself as Hajara’s brother and told the court that she had a history of mental health issues.

Based on this information and her erratic behavior, presiding judge Shamsudden Ado Abdullahi instructed the court clerk to send a letter to Dawanau Psychiatric Hospital, requesting a mental health assessment for Hajara.

The judge then adjourned the case to December 9, 2024, awaiting the results of her evaluation.
