Kaduna state Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai has sworn-in 13 new Commissioners to man ministries in his second term.

Governor El-Rufai had nominated 14 cabinet members to the State House of Assembly, but nominee for the Ministry of Agriculture was rejected by the assembly over his consistent criticism of the El-Rufai’s administration.

The remaining 13 were however sworn-in amidst jubilation inside the state council chamber at the Goverment House Kaduna.

The Commissioners sworn-in are: Ja’afaru Ibrahim Sani, Ministry of Local Government Affairs; Idris Samaila Nyam, Ministry of Business, Innovation & Technology; Shehu Usman Makarfi, Ministry of Education; Ibrahim Garba Hussaini, Ministry of Environment & Natural Resources; Kabir Muhammad Mato, Ministry of Sports Development; Balaraba Aliyu-Inuwa, Ministry of Public Works & Infrastructure and Samuel Peter Aruwan, Ministry of Internal Security & Home Affairs.
