Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has emphasized the importance of loyalty, transparency, and unity among members of the state executive council.
Speaking during the 23rd council meeting at the Government House, the governor warned against any actions that could disrupt harmony within the cabinet.
Addressing the council, which included seven newly appointed commissioners, Governor Yusuf stressed the critical need for cooperation and dedication.
“We have the opportunity to swear in the new Commissioners after their successful screening by the state house of assembly. The appointees are being charged to be committed and hardworking to their respective responsibilities and on behalf of the council, I once again congratulate the new commissioners.
“I want to reiterate that we expect nothing less than accountability, commitment and dedication to duties from you all. I would urge you all to extend maximum cooperation to all members of the cabinet. We don’t expect dishonesty, rancour, unnecessary differences from any of you, and anybody who tries to divide us here would be dealt with. This is a new era,” Yusuf warned.
Highlighting the progress of his administration, Governor Yusuf celebrated achievements from the last quarter of 2024. One significant milestone was the successful return of 150 students from Indian universities.
These students, sponsored under the state’s foreign scholarship program, completed advanced degrees in fields such as medicine, health sciences, and engineering.
In fulfillment of promises made, the governor assured that arrangements were being finalized for the automatic employment of foreign-trained professionals.
He directed the state Head of Service and the Commissioner for Health to expedite processes to integrate these specialists into the state workforce.
The governor concluded by encouraging the council to maintain Kano State’s tradition of honesty and respect, affirming his commitment to ensuring that the administration remains steadfast in achieving its goals.
