Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has mandated all political appointees in his administration to declare their assets. This directive was issued during an Iftar (Ramadan breaking of fast) with Heads of Government Agencies and Special Advisers at Government House in Kano.
Governor Yusuf noted that 60 to 70 percent of the appointees had yet to comply with the Code of Conduct rules and urged them to promptly obtain, complete, and submit the necessary forms to ensure legal compliance. He emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability within his administration.
In addition, the governor addressed the special advisers, highlighting their critical role in providing counsel and submitting reports on governance matters. He encouraged them to actively monitor government affairs and offer constructive advice.
Yusuf also mentioned the allocation of 13 Hajj seats to the Heads of Government Agencies, reinforcing the government’s commitment to supporting its officials.
Responding on behalf of the appointees, Dr. Rahila Mukhtar, the Executive Secretary of the Kano State Contributory Health Care Management Agency (KCHIMA), expressed gratitude for the governor’s leadership and support. The Secretary to the State Government, Malam Umar Ibrahim, reminded appointees of their oath to serve with justice and urged them to remain dedicated to Yusuf’s vision of transforming the state and improving the standard of living for its citizens.
