In the realm of education, the appointment of Dr. Yusuf Tanko Sununu as Minister of State Education is a resounding affirmation of President Tinubu’s resolute commitment to enhancing the educational sector. Hailing from the Yauri, Shanga, and Ngaski Federal Constituency, Dr. Sununu has exemplified an unwavering passion for community service and development—an assurance that his tenure will yield remarkable strides in education.
His illustrious journey in the House of Representatives attests to his fervent dedication to the growth and prosperity of all. As he steps into the realm of education, there is a palpable sense of optimism that he will harness his wealth of experience to foster a lasting and transformative legacy that will be etched in the annals of educational reform.
Notably, Dr. Sununu’s credentials extend far beyond the realm of politics. As an accomplished obstetrician, gynecologist, and Minimal Access Surgeon at the Federal Medical Centre, Birnin Kebbi, he has contributed significantly to the healthcare landscape since his tenure commenced in October 2012. His leadership as the Head of the Laparoscopic Surgical Unit reflects his adeptness in driving innovation and progress in medical practice.
