Kano State Unearths Extensive…..
In a startling revelation, the Kano State Government has exposed a significant issue of illegal employment within its public service, with 3,234 individuals unlawfully receiving salaries. The shocking discovery includes minors, a 13-year-old girl, students from primary and secondary schools, and even members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). The findings were presented by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Abdullahi Bichi, during a press conference addressing the report of the committee assigned to investigate the illicit recruitment carried out by the previous administration under Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
Governor Abba Yusuf, responding to the severity of the situation, promptly directed the suspension of salaries for over 10,000 public servants. This move reflects the government’s commitment to addressing the irregularities in the employment process, especially those carried out towards the end of the former governor’s tenure.
