This is contained in a statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Home Affairs, Dr. Bala Salisu-Zango, on Wednesday in Katsina.
The governor also approved the appointment of Malam Muttaka Badaru as the Chairman of the Board of the bank, alongside five others as directors.
The directors are: Malik Anas, Dr Bello Muhammad, Dr. Badiyya Hassan-Mashi, Dr Muhammad Bashir-Usman and Malam Lawal Mukhtar.
Mr Radda congratulated the appointees, enjoining them to display their expertise and wealth of experience in the discharge of their duties diligently for the bank to perform efficiently.
