Governor orders aides to declare assets

Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has directed all his political appointees to declare their assets.

Yusuf gave the directive during the breaking of the Ramadan Fast (Iftar) with heads of government agencies and special advisers at the Government House in Kano on Thursday night.

The governor said 60 to 70 per cent of his appointees had yet to comply with the Code of Conduct rules.

He urged them to promptly obtain, complete, and submit the necessary forms, to ensure compliance with the law.

Yusuf also addressed special advisers on the importance of providing counsel and submitting reports on governance matters.

He urged them to actively monitor government affairs and offer advice, whether positive or negative.

The Secretary to the State Government, Umar Ibrahim, reminded the appointees of their oath to execute their duties with justice.
