Kano state governor, Abba Yusuf, has relieved Buba Galadima of his position as chairman of the governing council of Kano State Polytechnic.
The decision was announced in a statement signed by Sunusi Tofa, the governor’s spokesperson, and made available to TheCable.
Yusuf has approved the appointment of Aliyu Abdulkadir, Emir of Gaya, as the new chairman of the institution’s governing council.
According to the state government, Galadima’s removal followed the restructuring of boards and councils in line with the governor’s Kano First Agenda.
Although the tenure of the governing council is three years, the government said the chairman’s appointment was terminated before expiration due to “ongoing reforms aimed at improving the performance of the polytechnic”.
The governor thanked Galadima for his service to the institution during his time as chairman of the governing council.
Yusuf also urged the new chairman to deploy his experience, leadership and commitment towards repositioning Kano State Polytechnic for improved academic and administrative outcomes.
The government further said the development is part of a broader reform drive by the Yusuf administration to realign public institutions in Kano with its governance priorities.
