“We thank Major General Muhammad Inuwa Idris (Rtd) for his unwavering commitment and contributions to the development of Kano State right from his days in the military career, we wish him a peaceful and fulfilling retirement as he transitions into a well-deserved rest from public service,” the governor said.

Maj. Gen. Idris (Rtd) ‘s tenure, though brief, has been credited with laying a solid foundation for the ministry’s take-off, which the Governor believes his successor can build on to set a pace for the new Ministry’s operations.
