Kano governor directs all Commissioner nominees to declare assets

Governor of Kano State Abba Kabir Yusuf has directed all the 19 Commissioner nominees must comply with the code of conduct rules.

This was disclosed on the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) Twitter handle.

The nominees are expected to declare assets within the best possible time before their onward screening at the state assembly.

Yusuf vows that no commissioner nominee will be sworn in as a cabinet member without filling out the asset declaration form from the Code of Conduct Bureau.

“All other political appointees under this administration shall also comply with the directive accordingly,” he said.

The governor reiterated that transparency and accountability remain the basic principles of his administration.

He said this will be applied to champion good governance as promised in his blueprint during the electioneering campaign.
