KANO, KANO STATE, NIGERIA – Nasiru Gawuna has resigned as Chairman of the Governing Board of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, in a move that signals a significant political realignment ahead of upcoming developments in Kano State.
Gawuna, who was the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Kano, confirmed that his resignation takes immediate effect.
