Shortly after he was sworn-in on May 29, governor Sani made key appointments including Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chief of Staff, chancellors, special advisers and assistants.
He however said that without appointing commissioners, the cabinet is not complete.

He however, directed Aruwan to oversee the Ministry for Internal Security and Home Affairs pending when the commissioners would be appointed.
“These two individuals just sworn-in today (Monday) will play major roles in the formulation and implementation of our policies for the next four years. We are confident that the experience brought on board will be beneficial to the people of Kaduna state. You occupy important positions and you must at all times serve the public interest and put service before self because it is a honour to serve the people of Kaduna state.

Our administration’s seven point agenda is geared towards improving the lives of the people of Kaduna state. The people must take ownership and support us in achieving the best for the state. We shall make Kaduna state a model of development in the country.
“Samuel Aruwan was the immediate past Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, in the next 10 days, we would have our commissioners in place but before then Samuel Aruwan should oversee the Ministry”. Gov. Sani said.
The Governor reiterated his commitment to the SUSTAIN Kaduna masterplan agenda, saying, “Our administration’s seven-point agenda is geared towards improving the quality of lives of the people of Kaduna state.
