On Wednesday, Governor Yusuf addressed the commissioners and other members of the state executive council, saying their appointments were based on merit, professionalism, previous performance, and competency.
He urged them to be dedicated to their responsibilities.
Let me urge you all to sustain the tempo of loyalty, dedication, commitment to duty and be honest in the discharge of your duties, be honest, accountable, and mindful of the confidence reposed in us by the good people on us.
I am reminding you that your appointment is on probation of six months period afterwhich a monitoring and evaluation team under my headship will be monitoring the performances of the ministries and those who performed well will be appreciated and those who under performed will be pulled out.
The Governor charged the commissioners with working as one family for the people of Kano, believing that they were the best team to rescue the state from the “mismanagement” of the previous administration and deliver the dividends of democracy to the state’s nooks and crannies.
