Engr. Umar Abdullahi Umar, son of the former Governor of Kano State and current National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has been appointed as the Executive Director, Technical Services of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA).
President Bola Tinubu appointed Umar to the new REA management team following the indefinite suspension of the agency’s former team led by Ahmad Salihijo. Salhijo, appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019, was suspended alongside three directors: Olaniyi Alaba Netufo, Executive Director, Corporate Services; Barka Sajou, Executive Director, Technical Services; and Sa’adatu Balgore, Executive Director, Rural Electrification Fund (REF).
Umar, who previously contested the APC ticket for Dawakin Tofa/Tofa /Rimin Gado constituency but lost the election to New Nigerian Peoples Party’s Hon Tijjani Jobe, is known for his role in the Tinubu/Shettima campaign, particularly in the youth wing.
