  “Not all Kutis use narcotics” — Afrobeat singer Made Kuti addresses family misconception Afrobeat singer, Made Kuti, has dismissed the misconception that all members of the Kuti family use narcotics.  Speaking with TheCable on the sidelines of the United States mission’s 250th Independence Day celebration in Lagos, the singer said many people wrongly assume he and his relatives use drugs. “A lot of people think I smoke, but I don’t, and even my dad has quit. So, there is a big misconception that the family are all into narcotics, but most of us are not,” he said. When asked to describe himself in three words, Made chose “hardworking, loyal and passionate,” adding with a joke that “loyal” fits because “I’m a married man”. When asked which Nigerian artiste he currently listens to, Made named his grandfather.

 Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf Confirms Maimota as Head of Civil Service


The Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, confirmed Hajiya Bilkisu Shehu Maimota as the substantive Kano State Head of Civil Service on Wednesday.


Her confirmation as a  substantive Head of Civil Service in Kano State is sealing her rise to one of the most powerful administrative positions in the state and signaling a new phase in the ongoing reform of the public service.


This was contained in the statement issued by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, which came on the heels of a high-profile event marking the unveiling of the sixth tranche of payments aimed at clearing long-standing gratuities and death benefits owed to pensioners and families of deceased civil servants.


The timing is anything but coincidental. With the government pushing aggressively to settle inherited liabilities, the confirmation of Maimota is seen as a strategic move to stabilise the bureaucracy and inject fresh energy into a system.


Barely one month ago, Maimota stepped into the role in an acting capacity following the removal of Alhaji Abdullahi Musa. Her swift elevation to substantive status underscores the administration’s confidence in her leadership and ability to navigate the complex terrain of civil service reform.


Governor Yusuf, while announcing the confirmation, charged the new Head of Service to deploy her decade-long experience toward revamping the system, emphasizing the need to consolidate ongoing reforms and deliver a more responsive, efficient, and accountable public service.


He also extended warm congratulations to Maimota, expressing optimism that her tenure would usher in measurable improvements across ministries, departments, and agencies, at a time when expectations from the workforce and the public remain high.
