According to Dawakin Tofa, the appointment resulted from Dr. Bichi’s medical vacation, during which he flew to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for treatment.

In a letter to Governor Shehu Wada Sagagi, the Chief of Staff, he said, the Head of Service “is to provide a supervisory role pending the return of the SSG in the next few weeks.”

According to our correspondent, the news followed rumours that had been circulating across the state for a few days, which caused the locals’ tongues to wag.
