The Kano State Commissioner for Project Monitoring and Evaluation, Muhammad Diggol, on Sunday resigned from his appointment.

The spokesperson to Governor Abba Yusuf, Sanusi Bature, said the governor has accepted the resignation and wished Mr Diggol success in his future endeavours.

Mr Diggol was the Commissioner for Transportation but was later transferred to the Ministry of Project Monitoring and Evaluation in a recent cabinet reshuffle.
