Kano Governor Abba Yusuf Orders Aides To Declare Assets

Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has directed all political appointees in his administration to declare their assets in accordance with the Code of Conduct regulations.

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

Yusuf noted that “60 to 70 percent of the appointees” had yet to comply and urged them to promptly obtain, complete, and submit the required forms to meet legal obligations.

He also addressed special advisers, emphasizing the need for them to provide counsel, submit governance reports, and actively monitor government affairs, offering both positive and critical advice.

Additionally, the governor announced the allocation of 13 Hajj seats to the Heads of Government Agencies.

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

Secretary to the State Government, Malam Umar Ibrahim, reminded the appointees of their duty to uphold justice and urged them to stay committed to Yusuf’s vision for transforming Kano and improving residents’ living standards.
