Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from reliable, independent sources to meet WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 10:21, 20 April 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  12:11, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: BLP, fails GNG and BIO. Sources in the article are about mentions in articles about other subjects and notability is not inherited. BEFORE showed nothing from IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV).  // Timothy :: talk  05:08, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment I’m pretty sure that the current consensus is that Nigerian state commissioners are notable. Thus subject was apparently “appointed as commissioner of land, housing, and urban development in kebbi state by Atiku Bagudu. He also served as the commissioner of Agricultural and Rural development and local government and chieftaincy affairs as well as work and transportation from 2000 to 2008.” If verified that would make him notable.

 * Keep, [former?] commissioner of a state; passing NPOV. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 08:21, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - there is no sourcing to show that the claim he was a commissioner is true. The reference link for that claim is dead, and searches did not turn up anything to support it.  In fact, I didn't realize this when I made the nomination, but this article appears to have been copy-pasted from AfC, where it was declined several times by  and, the latter of whom also pointed out the lack of verifiability of several claims in the article.

 * According to and, he is/was the "managing director". SWinxy (talk) 20:09, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. I found a short but interesting news piece on him, an opinion piece on him, but when his name is mentioned in other pieces, it's not about him, it's about HyPPADEC. SWinxy (talk) 20:18, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
