The governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, guaranteed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) on Wednesday that the state government will work with the commission to combat and prevent corruption in Nigeria to the fullest extent possible.
The governor gave assurance when ICPC Chairman, Dr. Musa Aliyu SAN, led the management team of the anti-corruption commission on a courtesy call to the governor at the Government House, Kano.
Governor Yusuf, accompanied by his deputy, Comrade Aminu Gwarzo, welcomed the ICPC delegation and expressed his happiness that Kano State was the first state the chairman had visited since taking office.
According to a news release from the ICPC spokesperson, Mrs. Azuka Ogugua, the governor praised President Bola Tinubu for selecting Dr. Aliyu, characterizing the appointment as evidence of the chairman’s qualifications and unwavering dedication to the Nigerian project.
Yusuf informed that his administration had zero tolerance for corruption. This, he said, was sacrosanct.
The governor added that since coming onboard, the administration had prioritized a preventive approach to tackling corruption in the state.
According to him, “It may interest the ICPC management to know that my administration’s zero tolerance on corruption and related tendencies remain sacrosanct.
“Thus in ensuring the successful implementation of this government’s anti-corruption policies, I prioritized a preventive approach without compromising the existing curative mechanisms in the state’s Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC).”
Speaking earlier, Dr. Aliyu highlighted the ICPC’s prior training cooperation with the Kano State PCACC and advocated for a sustained alliance with the organization in the anti-corruption campaign.
According to Ogugua, the state attorney general and commissioner for justice, as well as the chairman of the Kano State PCACC, sent kind words during the courtesy call.
