Gov. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of
Kano State, on Monday announced that a major purge would soon take place in the
administrative machinery of the state, to ensure that only the right people are
allowed to play roles in the scheme of things.
He explained the shake-up, which
is part of a broad vision to move the state to the next level, would affect
“all political office appointees except my Deputy, Dr. Nasiru Gawuna”.
“The shake-up will affect all
Commissioners, Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants, Personal
Assistants, heads of government agencies and directors, among others. In the
same vein, the State Hisbah Board and local governments will face major
reorganization”, the governor disclosed.
He, however, assured that nobody
will be victimized.
“We will not retrench anybody but
we will appoint only loyal and dedicated people into sensitive positions”, he
promised.
Ganduje, who spoke during an APC
stakeholders’ meeting at Africa House, Government House Kano, stated that the
managerial changes have already commenced with sweeping reforms on the top
stratum of the state civil service.
“We started with Permanent
secretaries because they are the backbone of the civil service.
“If the backbone is weak and
disloyal to the government, what should you expect? We shall, therefore,
appoint only selfless, hardworking and trustworthy people into positions of
responsibility”, the Governor asserted.
Stating that he would not allow
with fifth columnists to derail his second tenure as they attempted in the
past, the governor maintained that those who supported the APC in the recent
presidential and other elections would be compensated.
Accordingly, Gov. Ganduje
mandated APC stakeholders in all the 44 local government areas of the state to,
within two weeks, nominate 10 people each, to be given positions.
The nominees, he added, must be
selected based on carefully defined criteria, including loyalty, experience,
political dexterity, academic qualification and zoning, among others.
He assured that his
administration would continue to support the APC to become stronger,
highlighting that “the 2019 election was a school that taught us many things
ahead of 2023”.
Dr. Ganduje reiterated that his
government, during its second term, would focus on consolidating its
achievements, in heath, education, skills acquisition, security and women
development, among other sectors.
