Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has approved the appointment of Yahaya Adesayo Ismail as the Commissioner for Special Duties.
Ismail was nominated by the Kogi state chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) to fill the vacant position of Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party but lost out to a former House of Reps member, Duro Meseko.
Confirming the new development in a statement issued in Lokoja on Monday, the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Folashade Ayoade, said Ismail’s appointment underscores Governor Bello’s dedication to recognizing exceptional individuals who have demonstrated unwavering commitment and service.
According to the SSG, Yahaya Ade Ismail, who has previously served as the Special Adviser to the Governor on Water Resources, has consistently shown outstanding dedication and an impressive track record of service.
“His deep-rooted commitment to the progress of Kogi State has earned him this esteemed recognition.
“It is important to note that the appointment of Yahaya Ade Ismail as Commissioner for Special Duties is currently pending confirmation by the State House of Assembly. This process aligns with established procedures, ensuring that the selection is carried out in a transparent and accountable manner.
“The Governor firmly believes that Yahaya Ade Ismail’s extensive experience and insights will greatly contribute to the advancement of our State’s development objectives,” she said.
