Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, on Tuesday swore in 21 new Permanent Secretaries and 14 Special Advisers, urging them to justify the confidence reposed in them.
Speaking while swearing-in the new appointees, Governor Yusuf said that the choice of the new appointees was done after careful consideration.
“We selected the best in competence, experience, dedication to duty, and proven fear of God. That is why we are expecting you to perform to the optimal high point for a better Kano.
“You should consider your appointment a valued one that is desirable in the new dispensation of the NNPP, and as such, you should maintain decorum and professionalism in your duties,” he said.
According to him, his administration is ushering in a new era of renewed commitment towards making Kano a state of hope and development.
He reminded the new appointees that his government has zero tolerance for incompetence and abuse of office, and as such, they should dedicate themselves to the service of humanity and the state.
“Although I know that, as humans, you are bound to make mistakes, you have to be extra careful with the oath you have taken.
“Politics should not be a yardstick for carrying out your duties. You should be free and do away with hypocrisy and gossiping; if you accurately discharge your duties, the sky will be your limit in life,” Governor Yusuf said.
