The Zamfara Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, Rabi Shinkafi, has resigned her appointment to take up another commissionership appointment in Imo.

“I resigned my appointment as commissioner in Zamfara to enable me to pick another appointment as commissioner in Imo,’’ Ms Shinkafi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Gusau, the Zamfara Statevcapital, on Thursday.

“Both Governors Hope Uzodinma of Imo and Matawalle (of Zamfara) discussed it as fellow All Progressives Congress governors and as friends too,’’ Ms Shinkafi added.
