Recently, an online news medium in Kano(Not NIGERIAN TRACKER) reported on the challenges faced by the Kano State Government House Public Relations Department. Upon Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s inauguration on May 29, 2023, the department underwent a complete overhaul, and new personnel were assigned to manage it.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf appointed Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, a public relations practitioner, as the Chief Press Secretary and spokesperson. However, just a month before Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s inauguration, complaints arose regarding the department’s lack of a competent and eloquent Master of Ceremony (MC) for events at the Government House.

The issue became evident during the recent Traditional Hawan Nassarawa, when the Emir of Kano visited Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. Since then, the Governor has been actively searching for a capable MC who can make occasions at the Government House captivating without any public embarrassment.

During the administrations of Malam Ibrahim Shekarau and Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Malam Aminu Kabir Yasar served as the MC at the Government House for over 14 years. However, when Governor Ganduje was about to leave the Government House, Malam Aminu Kabir Yassar also departed.
