Kano Governor, Abba Yusuf Inaugurates 45 Special Advisers

Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Yusuf, on Thursday inaugurated 45 special advisers screened and confirmed by the State House of Assembly.

Addressing the appointees after the swearing-in, Yusuf made it known that their appointment was in line with the need to co-opt more resourceful hands for the effective delivery of government business.

He explained that they were appointments based on merit, dedication, loyalty, commitment, and on the expectation that they would relentlessly partake and contribute positively to taking Kano State to greater heights.

The Governor disclosed that they are expected to be diligent in the discharge of their duties saying, “The present administration is all out to protect the interests of good people of the state and to ensure fulfillment of promises made to the electorates during the campaign period.”

He told the special advisers that much is anticipated from them in providing useful advice on relevant issues and liaising with other public office holders and civil servants for the smooth coordination of government policies and programs in accordance with stipulated rules.

He, however, urged civil servants to be up and doing, saying, “As the engine room of actualizing government’s initiatives, civil servants need to be dedicated, committed and render selfless service towards developing our dear state, and to serve the people diligently.

“As we are doing our best to pay salaries and other entitlements, we as government, would not condone truancy, laxity, and other lukewarm attitudes detrimental to effective services delivery.”
