Danfulani has qualifications, experience – APC group
The group said Danfulani has extensive experience in banking, computing, and business administration, noting his previous role as commissioner for commerce and industry in Zamfara state.
Danfulani also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master’s in Arts and Management from the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom.
Why Tinubu should pick Danfulani over Umaru-Shinkafi
The group acknowledged the valuable contributions of Hajia Fatima Umaru-Shinkafi, who recently completed her tenure as Executive Secretary of SMDF/PAGMI.
However, they stressed the need for fresh, innovative leadership to take the sector to new heights in alignment with the government’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Henzodaily.ng gathers that the call for a reconsideration follows an earlier announcement by President Tinubu, appointing Yazid Danfulani on Friday, December 6, only for a subsequent press statement to announce the replacement of Danfulani with Hajia Fatima Umaru-Shinkafi.
