According to him, the ministry already boasts of highly skilled legal luminaries, but God has chosen Barrister Tahir for this position, hence the need to respect colleagues and work in unity for progress. He also called on directors and staff of the ministry to give their full support to the new Solicitor-General, particularly in identifying priority areas where government intervention is needed, such as staff welfare.
In his response, Barrister Tahir expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah and Governor Yusuf for finding him worthy of the appointment. He also thanked the Head of Service for his guidance and promised to run an open-door policy that will enable teamwork in achieving the ministry’s goals.
Until his appointment, Barrister Tahir served as Director of Public Prosecution at the Ministry of Justice, where he earned recognition for his track record of service. It could be recalled that his predecessor has been redeployed to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.
