Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has urged political appointees and senior government officials to uphold integrity as the foundation of their service to the state.
In a statement signed by his Director-General of Media and Publicity, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the governor emphasized that honesty and accountability remain crucial to building a better future for the people of Kano.
Governor Yusuf made the call during a three-day retreat in Kaduna themed “Anti-Corruption, Financial Fraud, Transformational Leadership, and Ethical Values in the Workplace,” jointly organized by ANHI Consultants International and the Kano State Government.
“Your actions, decisions, and policies must reflect the values of transparency, honesty, and accountability,” he said. “Together, we must build a legacy of integrity that will not only transform today but also guarantee a just and prosperous future for generations to come.”
The governor warned that corruption directly harms the poor and vulnerable, adding that the people of Kano are becoming increasingly impatient with unfulfilled promises.
He stressed that the success of government depends not only on sound policies but also on the integrity and professionalism of those charged with their implementation.
Governor Yusuf therefore encouraged appointees to remain courageous, visionary, and committed to doing the right thing, even under challenging circumstances.
