Use one value (in controller) from returned row from model

I have a function in the model the gets the row of a certain user: fname,lname, etc.

And in the controller I want to only use the fname and save it to session. How will I achieve that? So far I have this

$info = $this->User_model->getUserInfo($id);
$userinfo = array(
   'name' => $info->fname //gives me a array to string conversion error
);
$this->session->set_userdata($userinfo);

In the model

return $query->result_array();

I can just get the name by return $query->row('fname'); but I want to reuse the function that gets the row to be efficient.

I understand the error. But I just don't know how to get around it.

in model try this

return $query->row_array();

and in controller

 $info = $this->User_model->getUserInfo($id);
 $userinfo = array(
 'name' => $info['fname']
 );
 $this->session->set_userdata($userinfo);
