Published

The Kano State and Local Governments joint Committee to enhance revenue generation has been inaugurated by the state Commissioner of Finance and Economic Development, Alhaji Ibrahim Jibrin Fagge.

In his inaugural speech, the commissioner revealed that the executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf gave the approval for the inauguration of the committee in order to boost and harmonize revenue generation in the state.

Fagge maintained that the members constituted the joint committee were carefully selected based on their track records of honesty, integrity, and experiences in terms of discharging official duties.

The commissioner charged the committee members to ensure the timely presentation of the committee’s quarterly progress report available to his office for performance assessments and challenges for the way forward.

In his acceptance remarks, the Executive Chairman, State Internal Revenue Services (KIRS), Alhaji Sani Abdulkadir Dambo, appealed to the relevant MDAs to give maximum support and cooperation to achieve desired goals.

Dambo, who is the leader of the committee, also noted that many states in the federation are ahead of Kano state in revenue generation.

According to him, such narratives should be changed and would not continue like that since Kano State is blessed with many potentials and opportunities such as population, businesses, and workforce above other states nationwide.

The chairman maintained that the present administration under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf is committed to seeing the state revenue generation improve and is always ready to give all necessary support and encouragement to achieve the desired objective.

Members that constituted the committee include representatives from the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Ministry of Land and Physical Planning, and Ministry of Finance and Economic Development.

Others are Kano State Urban Development Agency (KNUDA) and Revenue Mobilization Allocation Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) respectively.

Published

By Salisu Baso

As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.

The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.

He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.

On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
