According to the commissioner, nine candidates from the ruling houses applied for the position.
He said all applicants were screened by the Emirate’s Selection Committee before a shortlist of three was forwarded to the state government.
“Those shortlisted include Dr. Aminu Haliru-Bunza, Muhammad Bello Aliyu Bunza, and Alhaji Ladan Sajo-Bunza.
“After thorough assessment, Dr. Aminu Haliru-Bunza was selected and approved as the new District Head of Bunza,” the statement read.
