The new Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Ambassador Nuhu Bajoga, has been sworn-in.
Bajoga was sworn-in on Friday by the state’s Chief Judge, Rahila Cudjoe, at the Hassan Usman Katsina House, Kawo, Kaduna.
The state Governor, Ramalan Mukhtar Yero, said at the occasion that Bajoga’s patience and unique leadership qualities would help in moving the state forward.
Yero said: “Yakowa was older than I am by 20 years and I tried as much as possible to obey him and not to create problem for him.
“That gave me the idea that anybody that is going to be the deputy governor has to be somebody that is older than I am and has more experience than I
have.
“This will benefit the good people of the state because they say age is an experience and I know that with the experience of Bajoga and his age, we will be able to work together and respect each other.
“I assure you that we will have a good working relationship.
“I as the head and he being my number one adviser, I will do as much as possible.
“I know what the office of the deputy governor is and will try as much as possible to improve from where I left it.
“Anyone, who thinks he can come in between us, it is better for him to advise us to do the right thing, rather than seeking to divide us.”
Bajoga promised to discharge his responsibilities without fear or favor.
He said: “I intend to justify the confidence reposed in me as I will promote harmonious working relationship based on mutual cooperation.
“I appreciate the series of views expressed by various strata of our society and interest groups in the course of filling the vacuum that was created in the office that I have now been called upon to occupy.
“I see this as a positive development, which will serve to enrich our democratic culture and ideals.
“And so rather than diminish my enthusiasm to serve our people, it has awakened me to the enormity of the challenges ahead of us and the need to give my best.
“The security challenges that stare us in the face demand from us patience, sacrifice and tolerance.”
