Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has relieved Engineer Buba Galadima of his position as Chairman of the Governing Council of Kano State Polytechnic.
The decision, announced Saturday in a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Dawakin Tofa, comes amid ongoing institutional reforms and what the administration described as a restructuring aligned with its “Kano First Agenda.”
Galadima, a prominent political figure and longtime ally of Rabiu Kwankwaso, has recently emerged as a critic of the governor following a political rift linked to divisions within the Kwankwasiyya movement.
Despite the governing council’s statutory three-year tenure, the statement noted that his appointment was terminated before expiration to support reforms aimed at improving the polytechnic’s performance.
Governor Yusuf expressed appreciation for Galadima’s service during his tenure.
The governor also approved the appointment of Aliyu Abdulkadir, the Emir of Gaya, as the new chairman of the institution’s governing council. He urged the new appointee to deploy his leadership experience to reposition the polytechnic for enhanced academic and administrative excellence.
