The appointment of Miss Yvonne Okeke, an indigene of Anambra State, as Personal Assistant to Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, reflects an approach to governance that places competence, commitment and the ability to deliver above ethnic or geographical considerations. While Kaduna State indigenes continue to occupy key positions within the administration, Governor Uba Sani has demonstrated that people from other parts of Nigeria can also contribute meaningfully to the development of the state and feel a genuine sense of belonging.
For Governor Uba Sani, the focus is on who can work, who can add value and who can contribute to the progress of Kaduna State. Yvonne Okeke’s appointment is therefore an example of an inclusive administration that recognises talent beyond the boundaries of state of origin. It reinforces the message that Kaduna is home to Nigerians from across the country under the Uba Sani administration. Read below, profile of Miss Yvonne Okeke;
