He said, “The council has approved the appointment of Alhaji Auwalu Ahmad as District Head of Rimin Gado, Magajin Rafin Karaye, as District Head of Kiru and Alhaji Garba Alhaji as Dan Madamjn Karaye.”

Gunduwawa said the council has also approved the appointment of Malam Shehu Ahmed as District Head of Karaye among others.

“The council congratulated the new District Heads and prayed for Allah’s guidance in course of discharging their duties.

“The meeting was attended by chairmen of Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the emirate and other members.”
