Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has warned the new Interim Management Officer’s for the 44 Local Governments in the state against corruption and negligence to duty.

Ganduje at the swearing-in ceremony on Monday night said that his administration would continue to give priority to service to the people.

‎The swearing in followed the confirmation of the officers by the State House of Assembly.‎

Ganduje advised the new appointees to perform their duties with diligence, honesty and fear of God, adding that they should also initiate developmental programmes in their areas.‎‎

He also urged them to be transparent and discreet in their dealings in order to accomplish the noble objective of the APC government in the state and the country as a whole.

‎”Your appointment today as Sole Administrators should therefore be seen as a call to service of our people.

“You are more close to the grassroots and a lot of expectations falls on you; you can be rest assured of our continued support,” he said.‎

‎According to Ganduje, the officers and their six Councillors would hold office for not more than six months before handing over to democratically elected chairmen.‎

The 44 Local Government chairmen elected during the tenure of Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso completed their tenure on May 28, 2017.‎
