Governor Yusuf Orders Probe Of Salary Deductions To Kano Civil Servants.

  
  * Inagurates Investigative Committee To Report Within Seven Days.
By Jabiru Hassan. 
 Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano state has issued a stern warning over the widespread reports of salary underpayment and non-payment affecting a number of the state civil servants, declaring the act as an unacceptable violation of workers’ rights and a betrayal of public trust. 
 This was contained in a statement issued by governor’s spokesperson Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa on Thursday.  
Fuming over the revelations that some workers have gone months without receiving their rightful earnings, Governor Yusuf vowed to expose and punish those responsible.   
“This administration will not tolerate any act of injustice against our workers. Anyone found complicit in this reprehensible act will face the full wrath of the law,” he declared. 
 In a decisive move to end the irregularities, the governor has inaugurated a high-powered investigative committee to unearth the root causes of the discrepancies, whether due to technical errors or deliberate human sabotage.   
The committee has been directed to conduct a thorough audit of the state’s payroll from October 2024 to February 2025, identify affected workers, determine the financial impact, and recommend corrective and punitive actions. 
 The seven-member committee, chaired by Hon. Abdulkadir Abdussalam, Commissioner for Rural & Community Development and the immediate past State Accountant General,  is made up of top government officials and financial experts with deep knowledge of payroll systems.   The members include:  
1. Hon. Abdulkadir Abdussalam – Chairman Commissioner, Ministry for Rural & Community Development  2. Dr. Bashir Abdu Muzakkari – Member Special Adviser on Digital Economy  3. Dr. Aliyu Isa Aliyu – Member Director-General, Kano State Bureau of Statistics  4. Dr. Hamisu Sadi Ali – Member Director-General, Kano State Debt Management Office  5. Hajiya Zainab Abdulkadir – Member Director, Kano State Computer Centre  6. Aliyu Muhammad Sani – Secretary Director, Research & Evaluation, REPA Directorate, SSG’s Office.
Others are  Ummulkulthum Ladan Kailani – Co-Secretary Senior Assistant Secretary (AGS), Admin. & General Services Directorate, SSG’s Office  
The committee has been given just seven days to complete its findings and submit a comprehensive report outlining those responsible, the extent of the financial malpractice, and lasting solutions to ensure the problem never recurs. 
 Governor Yusuf has assured civil servants that his administration is committed to justice, transparency, and the prompt payment of salaries, warning that anyone found guilty of exploiting workers will face severe consequences. 
 “The era of shortchanging our workers is over. This is a government of accountability, and no one will be spared if found guilty,” the governor asserted. 
 As the committee swings into action, expectations are high that this bold move will expose entrenched payroll fraud, restore confidence in the state’s wage system, and safeguard the rights of Kano’s hardworking civil servants. 
 The committee was inagurated by the Secretary to the State Government Alhaji Umar Faruk Ibrahim on behalf of the people's Governor of Kano state His Excellency Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf.
