Sequel to the presentation and adoption of the report of ad hoc screening committee, Kano State House of Assembly has approved the nomination of Hon. Murtala Sule Garo as Deputy Governor.
Murtala Garo’s confirmation came after the 12-member committee, chaired by the Deputy Speaker, Bello Muhammad Butubutu, submitted its report during plenary presided over by the Speaker, Jibril Ismail Falgore.
The committee had been constituted after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf forwarded Garo’s name to the Assembly for screening and confirmation as deputy governor nominee.

Presenting the committee’s findings, Butubutu said the nominee was thoroughly screened and found qualified for the position.
He noted that the committee carefully examined Garo’s academic credentials, professional experience, and personal background in line with the Assembly’s standard screening procedures.
Following deliberations on the report, lawmakers unanimously adopted the committee’s recommendations and confirmed Garo as fit and proper to serve as Deputy Governor of Kano State.
Speaker Falgore subsequently announced the Assembly’s approval, paving the way for Governor Yusuf to swear in Garo as the new deputy governor.
The confirmation marks the conclusion of the legislative process that began after the governor formally requested the House to screen the nominee.
Recall that assembly spokesperson and Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Kamaluddin Sani Shawai, had earlier told newsmen that the House follows a rigorous vetting process for all executive nominees, including verification of academic qualifications, work experience, and character assessment.
