KANO GOVERNOR ORDERS COMMISSIONER NOMINEES TO DECLARE THEIR ASSETS.

Kano State Governor, His Excellency Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has mandated that all 19 Commissioner nominees follow the code of conduct regulations.

This came as Governor Yusuf confirmed the reappointment of Barr. Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado as Chairman of the Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, PCACC, to serve out the remainder of his term.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Comrade Sanusi Bature, and made accessible to Kano pressmen on Wednesday.

“By this announcement, the nominees are expected to declare assets as soon as possible before their onward screening at the state assembly,” the statement said.

Governor Yusuf then declared that no commissioner nominee would be sworn in as a cabinet member unless they completed the Code of Conduct Bureau’s asset declaration form.

“All other political appointees under this administration shall also comply with the directive accordingly.”

In order to uphold good governance as stated in his blueprint during the electioneering campaign, the Governor wants to reaffirm his commitment to the good people of Kano. He wants to state that openness and accountability will continue to be the guiding principles of his government.

In the meantime, Governor Yusuf has given the go-ahead for the appointment of Barr. Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado to a second term as Chairman of the Public Complaints and Anti Corruption Commission, PCACC. You may recall that Barrister Muhyi was inexplicably removed from office by the previous administration.

The reinstatement complies with a court ruling and is effective right away.
