The Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has
announced the promotion of two of his media aides, Samuel Aruwan and
Maryam Abubakar.
Aruwan is now Senior Special Assistant to the governor
on media and publicity while Maryam is senior special adviser to the governor
on new media.
A statement announcing the promotion quoted El-Rufai as
saying “their sterling efforts in projecting government policy and promoting
credible engagements with the public merited the acknowledgement”.
Aruwan, former Bureau Chief of Blueprint Newspapers in
Kaduna is among the first set of appointees El-Rufai announced before he took

the El-Rufai campaign.
