Kano Internal Security Commissioner Resigns

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has accepted the resignation of Muhammad Inuwa Idris, the commissioner for the newly established Ministry of Internal Security and Special Services.  

Mr. Idris, a retired major-general, was appointed and sworn in as the pioneer commissioner of the ministry in August 2024. His resignation follows that of Mohammed Diggol, the state commissioner for Project Monitoring and Evaluation, who stepped down on January 5.

In a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Dawakin Tofa, Governor Yusuf expressed deep appreciation for Mr. Idris’ service, acknowledging his role in the ministry’s foundational phase.

“We thank Major General Muhammad Inuwa Idris (Rtd) for his unwavering commitment and contributions to the development of Kano State right from his days in the military career. We wish him a peaceful and fulfilling retirement as he transitions into a well-deserved rest from public service,” the governor said.

Despite his brief tenure, Mr. Idris is credited with laying a strong foundation for the ministry. Governor Yusuf expressed confidence that his successor would build on these efforts to establish a clear operational framework for the ministry.
