Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has inaugurated 30 commissioners, 25 elected local government chairmen and their deputies, along with members of various boards and commissions, charging them to play active roles in advancing his administration’s New Niger agenda.
The swearing-in ceremony took place on Friday, December 12, 2025, at the Government House in Minna. The oath of office and allegiance was administered by Justice Maimuna Abubakar of High Court 6, representing the Chief Judge of Niger State, Justice Halima Ibrahim Abdulmalik.
Governor Bago explained that the appointees were carefully chosen based on their records of performance and expressed confidence in their ability to serve the state effectively.
He urged the new officials to draw lessons from past experiences to help build a sustainable, prosperous, and inclusive Niger State.
Earlier, the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Abubakar Usman, encouraged the appointees to show dedication and commitment in carrying out their responsibilities, stressing that such commitment is essential to achieving the goals of the New Niger agenda.
Usman disclosed that a retreat had been strategically organised for the appointees to align them with the administration’s collective vision and define clear expectations.
The board members sworn in include those of the Niger State Universal Basic Education Board, the Secondary Education Board and the Law Reform Commission.
Some of the newly sworn-in officials expressed gratitude to the governor for the opportunity to serve and pledged their commitment to the realisation of the New Niger agenda.
