The Executive Chairman of Gwagwalada Area Council, Hon. Kasim Mohammed, has retained Hon. Sunday Shagi Jonah as his Special Assistant on Land, Housing and Survey, in what signals continued confidence in the appointee’s role within the administration.
The retention was contained in the latest list of appointments released by the Chairman’s Chief Press Secretary through his official Facebook page on Friday, alongside the names of other newly appointed aides.
By retaining Shagi Jonah in the strategic portfolio, Chairman Kasim Mohammed has opted for continuity in the management and coordination of issues relating to land, housing and survey within the area council.
The decision is significant given the sensitive nature of land administration, an area that directly affects residents, property owners, developers and investors. Matters involving land allocation, documentation, survey processes and housing development frequently require careful coordination, transparency and strict adherence to established procedures.
Shagi Jonah is therefore expected to continue supporting the chairman in handling matters within the sector and assisting the administration in ensuring effective coordination and service delivery.
His retention also suggests that the chairman considers his experience and contribution valuable enough to warrant continuity despite the latest round of appointments and changes within the council’s administrative structure.
The development comes as the Kasim Mohammed-led administration continues to strengthen its team with aides assigned to various areas of responsibility to support governance and the implementation of its development agenda.
Although details of the specific responsibilities attached to the renewed appointment were not immediately made public, expectations will be high as Shagi Jonah continues in a portfolio that remains crucial to the growth and development of Gwagwalada.
His continued presence in the position is expected to place greater responsibility on him to deliver results, particularly in promoting efficiency, accountability and professionalism in matters concerning land, housing and survey.
The retention of Shagi Jonah ultimately represents a vote of confidence from the Gwagwalada chairman and a decision to maintain continuity in one of the council’s most sensitive administrative portfolios.
