The Kano State Governor, Dr Umar
Ganduje has asked all his commissioners to remain in office until the 29th May
date for the swearing in of new administrations across the country.
Ganduje said during what was
supposed to be the last executive council meeting of his first tenure, pointing
out that all the commissioners truly deserve commendation for being dutiful,
transparent, committed and prudent in the management of their respective
offices in the last four years.
“I thank you for being prudent in
the management of your respective ministries’ resources. You proved your mettle
by exhibiting exemplary leadership,” he stated.
The governor equally commended
them “for not being involved in any fraudulent activity during your time in
office. None of you has ever been accused of any form of corrupt practices.
This is commendable.”
He was also categorical in
stating that all the commissioners would remain in office up to May 29th, 2019,
explaining that, “Today’s sitting marks the final Executive Council meeting.
Not the end of your tenure in office. You will continue up to May 29th, 2019.”
Ganduje singled out his deputy,
Dr Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, who he said “came mid-way into the administration. But
he contributed immensely towards the development of the state.”
He went on to commend the
Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, who he described as the
general coordinator of government activities.
For the Head of Service, Muhammad
Awwal Na’Iya, he commended him for facilitating good working relationship
between government and workers throughout the four-year term, emphasising that
“the Head of Service did well in building cordial relationship between
government and labour.
“I have been in government for
many years of my life, but I never had it so good and smooth government-labour
relation than this. Throughout the four years, they have been peaceful with
labour unions and workers generally,” he noted.
On the appointment of new
permanent secretaries, Ganduje reveals that, “We are putting in place
procedures that will not pave way for business as usual. Business shouldn’t be
as usual.”
He added that government would
consider the inclusion of professional people, stressing that “…we must give
technical people chance to come on board.”
Governor assured that those who
applied for the position, after being shortlisted, would go through test and
after being appointed, they would be placed on provisional period for six
months before they would be confirmed finally.
“There is going to be performance
indicators, like well management of people, zero-tolerance to corruption, good
and effective file management and transparency among others,” he disclosed.
Ganduje further thanked all the
council members for the role they played during the last gubernatorial
election, saying, “All members of my cabinet I am proud of you. We are still
members of the same family. And I hope you will accept any assignment given to
you in the next level, when you are given.”
In a remark, the Secretary to the
State Government commended the governor on behalf of all members of the
Council, for the opportunity given to them to serve the administration.
