Yusuf sacks 8 Kano IRS directors

Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has terminated the appointment of no fewer than eight directors of the Kano State Internal Revenue Service (KIRS).

This was contained in a circular issued by the KIRS Chairman, Sani Abdulkadir Dambo, on Friday.

Dambo quoted Governor Yusuf as directing the eight affected directors to hand over all duties and responsibilities to their deputies.

Although their collective or individual offences were not stated, the KIRS chairman noted that the development was an ongoing effort towards achieving the desired objectives of Yusuf’s administration in Kano State.

“As part of the ongoing efforts towards achieving the desired objectives of the present government, I am directed to inform you that the undermentioned directors have been relieved of their responsibilities and are to hand over to their deputies immediately,” Dambo stated.

The sacked directors include the Director of Assessment, Muhammad Kabir Umar; Director of Human Resources, Kabiru Magaji; Director of Government Business, Ibrahim Sammani; the Director of Road and Other Taxes, Aminu Umar Kawu; and the Director of Tax Audit, Investigation and Debt Management, Muhd Auwal Abdullahi.

Others are the Director of ICT, Abubakar Garba Yusuf; the Director of PAYE, Hamisu Ado Magaji; and the Director of Legal and Enforcement, Bashir Yusuf Madobi.

The development is coming barely a week after the Supreme Court affirmed Yusuf as the duly elected governor of Kano State.
