⚽🏆 Governor Bago Appoints Dr Abubakar Kuso To Head Niger Tornadoes Committee

MINNA, Nigeria, June 29, 2026 - The Niger State Government has announced a strategic restructuring of its premier sports administration framework following the executive appointment of Dr. Abubakar Abdullahi Kuso as the substantive Chairman of the Niger Tornadoes Football Club Management Committee. Issued by Chief Press Secretary Bologi Ibrahim, the gubernatorial directive mandates the swift transition of administrative duties to catalyze institutional reforms.

Dr. Kuso, a highly decorated public administrator who holds the traditional title of Dan Wadatan Nupe, concurrently serves as the Executive Director of Planning and Design at the Upper Niger River Basin Development Authority. The incoming chairman replaces the outgoing club executive head, Engr. Ibrahim Dada, who formally resigned from the state sports agency to seek election into the federal House of Representatives.

Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago urged the entire athletic management board to rally behind the new leadership to restore the subnational football team's competitive glory days. The Ministry of Youth and Sports Development has synchronized the structural hand-over protocols with active season training timelines, utilizing Dr. Kuso's extensive logistics and planning background to rebuild team operational discipline.

Governor Bago Hands Over 500 Hectares In Gurara For Mega Solar Farm Project

The Niger State Government has advanced its green industrialization master plan following the formal handover of 500 hectares of prime land to Abuja Steel Mills Limited in the Diko axis of Gurara Local Government Area. Presided over by Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, the strategic groundbreaking ceremony marks the official commencement of a multi-sector solar-powered generation farm and industrial park.

The extensive capital project is engineered to host one of the largest solar power grids across West Africa, providing independent energy lines to feed new manufacturing plants and stabilize power supply frameworks for host communities. Federal ministers attending the event commended the state's economic vision, highlighting its geographical position as a major gateway to secure high-yield private investments.

Governor Bago announced that the administration will soon gazette an additional 200,000 hectares of land stretching from Diko to Tafa along the Kaduna state boundary corridor. The massive industrial reserve will leverage natural gas resources from the active Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano pipeline network, positioning the subnational territory as an elite hub for regional manufacturing and processing centers.
