Professor Muhammad Sani Bello, Kaduna State’s Commissioner for Information, has tendered his resignation with immediate effect, according to SaharaReporters.
He was also the Director General of Uba Sani Gubernatorial Campaign Council in the 2023 general elections.
In a letter dated July 29, 2025, and addressed to the Secretary to the State Government, General Hassan Usman (retd.), at the Katsina House in Kawo, Kaduna, Bello announced his voluntary resignation from the state executive council, ending his tenure without citing any specific reason.
SaharaReporters exclusively obtained the resignation letter, which reads in part: “Reference to letter number GH/KD/S/171 dated 27th July 2023, appointing me as Commissioner and Member of the Kaduna State Executive Council, I wish to notify you of my decision to voluntarily resign with immediate effect.
“I wish to place on record, my profound gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity afforded me to serve in the capacities I did. Please accept the assurance of my best regards.”
In May, Governor Uba Sani reinstated the state Ministry of Information that was scrapped by the administration of his predecessor, Nasir El-Rufai.
The governor also redeployed then-Commissioner for Education, Professor Sani Bello, to head the new ministry, while a former Director General of Energy Commission of Nigeria, Professor Abubakar Sani Sambo, was appointed as the new Commissioner for Education.
In a statement, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ibraheem Musa, said the governor also appointed Gloria Ibrahim as the Commissioner for Youth Development.
The statement added that the appointments and redeployment were with immediate effect.
