THE newly appointed caretaker committee chairman, Karasuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State, Hon. Lawan Gana, is dead.

He was among the 17 local government caretaker management committee chairmen to be sworn-in on Friday, May 26, by Governor Mai Mala Buni.

Mamman Muhammad, Director General Press and Media Affairs to Yobe State Governor, confirmed Karasuwa’s death at the flag-off of an empowerment organised by the state Commissioner of Ministry of Wealth Creation, Empowerment and Employment Generation.
