The reappointment extends Usman’s leadership of the state pilgrims’ affairs as Yobe prepares for another cycle of Hajj administration and related pilgrimage activities.
However, his continuation in the role remains subject to legislative confirmation, according to the official communication.
The state government congratulated Usman on the reappointment and wished him success in the discharge of his responsibilities.
The development comes as state pilgrims’ commissions and boards across the country begin positioning their administrative structures for preparations ahead of the 2027 Hajj.
