Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya swears in 19 newly appointed Permanent Secretaries, describing the event as the largest single appointment of such senior civil service roles in the state’s history. The swearing-in ceremony marks the formal take-up of duties by the appointees.
According to reports, Yahaya links the appointments to efforts to improve public service delivery and strengthen the civil service. One outlet also reports a stated commitment by the governor regarding gratuities, saying he pledges “zero gratuity” by May 2027. The accounts broadly agree on the number sworn in, the governor’s role, and the government’s stated intention to strengthen administrative capacity, while details of specific policy aims are presented with slightly different emphasis across outlets.
