The late Sokoto Commissioner was among the 26 commissioners Aminu Tambuwal, the governor, appointed in November 2018.
He first served as commissioner of science and technology but was redeployed to the ministry of lands and housing.
This is the second time in three days that Tambuwal would lose someone close to him. Haruna Usman, the governor’s uncle, died on Thursday.
