The newly sworn-in governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, has fir€d all government officials appointed by his predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
In an executive order he signed on Monday, May 29, the new governor ordered that “all political appointees heading government MDAs and companies are hereby relieved of their appointment with immediate effect.”
He also dissolved all boards of MDAs, companies and institutions of higher learning with immediate effect.
The governor also directed security agencies in the state to immediately take over all public properties sold during the Ganduje administration.
“In line with our transition advisory. I am announcing, today, that all public places and assets that were immorally plundered and sold by the Ganduje administration should be taken over by law enforcement agencies pending the final decision of the Government.
We have noted that the last administration had sold lands in and around schools, religious and cultural sites, hospitals and clinics, graveyards and green areas, and along the city walls of Kano.
We have also noted that they indi§crimin@tely sold numerous other landed properties and assets belonging to the Kano State Government within and outside the State to their cronies and agents,” he said.
He said all the actions he would be taking in the next few days were targeted towards resetting the state and repositioning it on the path of honour and dignity, respect and responsibility, as well as on the path of progress and prosperity.
