A coalition of Kaduna Ethnic Nationality Youth Leaders on Friday called on President Bola Tinubu to consider nominating Barrister Yusuf Hamisu Abubakar, popularly known as Mairago, for the position of Minister of Environment and Ecological Management reserved for Kaduna State.
The development followed the alleged voluntary withdrawal of Nasir el-Rufa’i who was initially nominated by the President but was technically rejected by the Senate citing security reasons.
The Group, in a statement issued by its Chairman, Aliyu Sani, also appealed to Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, to support Mairago in the interest of peace, unity, and progress of the State and the country as a whole.
According to the group, Mairagos wealth of knowledge and experience as a legal practitioner, a lecturer, an economist, a manager and an administrator has prepared him for the Ministerial job.
The statement read in part: We are fortunate to have Barr. Yusuf Hamisu Abubakar Mairago in Kaduna. His contributions are numerous; with positive impact in all ramifications, which have resulted in the success of APC in Kaduna during the 2023 elections.
It can boldly be inferred that the foundation upon which the present government of Kaduna State rests on the shoulders of critical stakeholders like Yusuf Hamisu Mairago, the group asserted.
