Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has forwarded the names of a human rights activist, Ambassador Ibrahim Waiya, and five others as commissioner candidates to the House of Assembly for consideration.
House Speaker Ismail Jibrin Falgore made this announcement on Monday while reading the governor's letter.
According to the letter, the nominees include Ibrahim Abdullahi Wayya, Shehu Wada Sagagi, Dr Dahiru Mohd Hashim, Dr Isma'il Dan Maraya, Gaddafi Sani Shehu and Abdulkadir AbdulSalam.
The nominees are expected to appear before the Kano State House of Assembly on Tuesday for selection.
