Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has on Wednesday, August 17, outsmarted other Governors from the All Progressives Congress, APC, by setting up a task force to mobilise Sokoto’s unemployed graduates and other qualified individuals, to ensure their full participation in the Federal Government’s social intervention programmes.
A statement issued in Sokoto by Tambuwal’s Spokesman, Malam Imam Imam, said the task force is expected to develop strategies on how the State will participate and benefit from the various employment plans introduced by the Federal government.
This is coming at a time when most of the State Governors have abandoned governance for petty politics.
Among such schemes include, the 500,000 teachers to be recruited into the civil service, the 100,000 extension workers to be employed to boost the agricultural sector in the country, among others.
The high-powered task force is headed by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Professor Bashir Garba, while Alhaji Lawal Zagi Kebbe, will serve as the Secretary.
Other members include: the State Commissioners of Justice, Usman Sulaiman; Budget and Economic Planning, Alhaji Bala Kokani; Finance, Saidu Umar; Health, Dr. Balarabe Kakale and Women Affairs, Hajiya Kulu Sifawa.
Also to serve in the task force are the Commissioners for Agriculture, Umar Nagwari; Basic and Secondary Education, Jabbi Kilgori; Information, Jeli Abdulqadir Abubakar, Local Government and Community Development; Mannir Dan Iya and Environment Alhaji Bello Sifawa, Secretary of the State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB, Alhaji Farouk Shehu, representative of the State office of the National Orientation Agency, NOA, businessman Alhaji Buhari Dasuki, Malam Nasiru Daniyan, Fabian Okoye and Alhaji Bashir Gidado.
