Gov. Umar Namadi has appointed Mr Salisu Audu as the pioneer Chairman of the newly established Jigawa State Public Complain and Anti-Corruption Commission.
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Bala Ibrahim, in a statement in Dutse on Friday, said that the appointment was with immediate effect.
