Imam as first offical appointment of Gov Aminu Tambuwal

Sokoto State governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has appointed Malam Imam Dalhatu Imam as his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs.
The appointment was contained in a statement Tambuwal personally signed and issued to journalists in Sokoto yesterday. Imam’s appointment is the first to be made by Governor Tambuwal few hours after he was sworn in as governor.
The newly sworn governor in the statement, admonished the new spokesman to re-dedicate himself to his new assignment by contributing positively to information management flow in the state.
However, the Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs had served in the same capacity when Tambuwal was the Speaker of the House of Representatives from 2011 until few days ago.
The appointee, a former Group Politics Editor at Thisday Newspapers, was born on July 16, 1977 in Gboko, Benue State, although he hails from Taraba State.
