Gov Abba Yusuf

Gov Abba Yusuf of Kano State has directed all political appointees in his administration to declare their assets in compliance with the Code of Conduct rules.

Yusuf issued the directive during an Iftar (Ramadan breaking of fast) with Heads of Government Agencies and Special Advisers at the Government House in Kano on Thursday, March 20.

The governor noted that “60 to 70 per cent of the appointees” had yet to fulfil the requirement and urged them to promptly obtain, complete, and submit the necessary forms to ensure compliance with the law.

Yusuf also addressed special advisers, emphasizing the importance of providing counsel and submitting reports on governance matters. He encouraged them to actively monitor government affairs and offer advice, whether positive or critical.

Additionally, the governor announced that 13 Hajj seats had been allocated to the Heads of Government Agencies.

Responding on behalf of the appointees, Dr. Rahila Mukhtar, the Executive Secretary of the Kano State Contributory Health Care Management Agency (KCHIMA), expressed gratitude to the governor for his support.

The Secretary to the State Government, Malam Umar Ibrahim, reminded the appointees of their oath to execute their duties with justice. He urged them to remain committed to Yusuf’s mission and vision, prioritizing transformation and improving the standard of living for Kano residents.
