The Jigawa State Governor, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, has approved the appointment of Muhammad Hameem Nuhu Sanusi as the new Emir of Dutse.

This was contained in a statement signed and issued to news men by the Jigawa state commissioner of special duties Alhaji Auwal D Sankara.

According to the statement, the appointment followed the unanimous selection of Hameem by seven kingmakers among three contenders for the royal seat.

The selection was then approved by the Jigawa State Council of Chiefs and subsequently, by the Governor himself, taking effect from February 5th, 2023.

His appointment followed the death of his father Dr Nuhu Muhammad Sunusi who died last week after brief illness at hospital in Abuja.
