The Executive Chairman of Bwari Area Council, Hon. Joshua Ishaku Musa, has approved 54 appointments to key administrative, advisory, media, and community relations roles, aimed at strengthening governance and service delivery across the council.
The appointments include Supervisory Councillors, Senior Special Advisers, Special Advisers, Personal Assistants, Press and Media personnel, Community Relations officers, and a Legislative and Administrative Liaison Officer.
However, while the council’s press release described the exercise as “53 appointments,” a count of the names listed in the release shows 54 appointees. The release did not explain the discrepancy.
The announcement was contained in a statement signed by the Chief of Staff, Tukura John Daniel, who said the appointments were part of efforts to build a responsive, inclusive and effective team to drive the administration’s development agenda.
Hon. Musa was declared winner of the February 21, 2026, Bwari Area Council chairmanship election after polling 18,466 votes, and was sworn in on June
The chairman appointed seven Supervisory Councillors to oversee major service areas:
• Michael Ali — Environment, Bwari Central
• Olushola Folorunsho — Education, Ushafa
• Zakari Yau — Works, Dutse
• Adamu Shekwonya — Finance, Kubwa
• Musa Makada — Agriculture, Shere
• Danjuma Usman — Special Duties, Kuduru
• Onyeachonam Fidelia — Health, Usuma
The appointments also cover all 10 wards in Bwari Area Council, including Igu, Shere, Dutse, Ushafa, Byazhin, Kuduru, Kubwa, Usuma, Bwari Central and Kawu.
Other Appointees.
The Senior Special Advisers are Monday Azacheyi, Ogbonna Onu Joseph, Peter Jagaba, Abubakar Suleiman, Nguoke Onyebuchi, Abdulmumini Zakari, Pius Yudah, Jemialu Ayodele, Henry Nwachukwu and Abubakar Sadiq Abdullahi.
The Special Advisers are Sa’ad Suleiman, David Gbalajobi, Joseph Jatau, Yusuf Abubakar, Jummai Bako, Loritha Odunze and Jibrin Ango Danbaba.
Seventeen Personal Assistants were also appointed, alongside six members of the Press and Media team. Ali Abubakar was named Press Secretary for Usuma, while Haruna Osaka Zabasuwo was appointed Legislative and Administrative Liaison Officer.
The Community Relations team includes Ali Isah Danjuma, Williams Lazarus Ajechilo, Waya Bamaiyi Bokossai, Ashiru Wasiu Ayodele, Daniel Yisa and Fajemi Gognaje Gbechelo.
The new team places key sectors including works, education, health, agriculture, finance and environment at the centre of the administration’s early governance structure.
Residents have recently called on the new Bwari leadership to prioritise roads, security, healthcare, agriculture, water supply, sanitation, youth opportunities and transparency. The appointments will be closely watched as residents assess whether the administration can translate its development promises into visible improvements across communities.
Chairman Hon. Joshua Ishaku congratulated the appointees and urged them to regard their new roles as a call to service.
He said they are expected to deploy their experience, energy and commitment towards advancing the administration’s vision and taking Bwari Area Council to greater heights.
