The governor urged the royal father to continue supporting the policies of his administration, which he said were designed to usher in development in the state, as well as spread the dividends of democracy to the people.
In his remarks, Emir Bayero said the visit was to felicitate the governor on Eid-el-Kabir, even as he assured him of his readiness to offer advice that would be beneficial to the development of the state.
Meanwhile, the Kano State Government is to constitute a committee, within the next few days to investigate how 10,000 workers, whose salaries have been blocked, were engaged by the immediate past Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led administration. At an emergency press conference jointly addressed by the Commissioner of Information, Halilu Dantiye, the Head of Service, Usman Mohammed, and the Accountant-General, Abdulkadir Abdulsala, the state government clarified that the said workers had not been retrenched.
According to Dantiye, who spoke on behalf of the state government, at the end of investigations, those established to have been legally engaged will henceforth be paid their salaries as at when due, adding that those confirmed to have been employed illegally would be booted out from service. “The state government will constitute a verification committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the employment of the 10,000 workers. Those found to have been engaged without complying with due process will be sacked outright.”All rights reserved.
