Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has nominated his spokesman, Samuel Aruwan, as commissioner for newly-created Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs.
Mr Aruwan’s name was included in the list of 11 nominees sent to Kaduna State House of Assembly for vetting.
Aruwan, in a statement on Wednesday, said three more nominees would be sent to the assembly.
“The second batch of nominees will subsequently be forwarded for the consideration of the legislature.
“All the 11 nominees served in various positions in the first term of the government.
“Picking insiders is a deliberate decision to enable the nominees hit the ground running and assist the government to achieve its targets for the second term.
“Every appointee will be subjected to stronger monitoring based on clear terms of reference and key performance indicators,” the statement said.
Five of the nominees had served as commissioners in the first tenure of Mr El-Rufai.
The governor had in June announced the creation of three new ministries – Ministry of Business, Innovation and Technology; Ministry of Housing and Urban Development; and Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs.
