Dr Ladan Salihu, the governor’s spokesman, disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Bauchi.
He said that Yalwa was the Permanent Secretary Special Services in the Governor’s Office before his new appointment.
“Alhaji Nasiru Yalwa replaced the outgoing Head of Service, Alhaji Adamu Umar Gokaru, who was directed by the governor to proceed on compulsory retirement for the public interest,” Salihu said.
According to him, the governor also appreciates the former Head of Service for his invaluable contributions to the State Civil Service.
