In a letter dated 1st May 2023 the commissioner said “I Sheikh Dr. Tukur Sani Jangebe (Walin Jangebe, Moddibon Mafara and Maluman Gusau) wish to express my profound gratitude and appreciation to His Excellency the State Executive Governor Hon. (Dr) Bello Matawallen Maradun Barden Kasar Hausa and Shatima of Sokoto over my appointment as Hon.
