Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai today administered the oath of office to the  13 newly appointed commissioners in the state.  

According to the governor,  none of the commissioners  lobbied for the job, as their appointment  was based on their level of education and capacity.

He also warned them against nepotism. .

El-Rufai who promised not to interfere with activities of the commissioners , urged them  to  represent change, noting ” This is  what the people of Kaduna State want.” 

He also told them that  change should come by action.

” The way you dress and the way you walk to the offices matters. It will show the people that there is change.” El-Rufai stated .

“We will defend you both privately and publicly. If you do wrong, we will tell you what you do wrong. None of us will interfere in your Ministries. If anyone comes to you claiming he or she is from me or from the Deputy governor, please subject that person to full due process,” he added.
