Kano commissioner resigns

Muhammad Diggol, the Kano State Commissioner for Transportation, has resigned after being moved to the Ministry of Project Monitoring and Evaluation, Dockaysworld reports. 

Engr. Muhammad Diggol was initially appointed as Commissioner for Transportation at the inception of Governor Yusuf’s administration in 2023.

He was later reassigned to the Ministry of Project Monitoring and Evaluation, where he served until his resignation on Sunday.

Although he did not give any official reason for leaving, close sources claim the decision was linked to politics.

Diggol, who was part of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s cabinet since 2023, reportedly felt sidelined after being reassigned from the Transportation Ministry, which is seen as more important.

Some insiders believe he left to avoid further conflicts and protect his reputation, as there were signs he might have been removed from office.

A source said:

“I can also confirm to you that another major reason he left is to allow peace reign; and also protect his integrity and dignity as chances were ripe that he could have been sacked.”

Governor Yusuf has accepted his resignation and praised Diggol for his contributions and hard work during his time in the government.
