Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has urged political appointees and senior government officials to take integrity as the foundation of their service.
This was contained in a press statement signed by Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Director-General, Media and Publicity, Government House, Kano, and issued to newsmen.
He stressed that honesty and accountability are crucial for building a better future.
The governor made the call during a three-day retreat themed “Anti-Corruption, Financial Fraud, Transformational Leadership, and Ethical Values in the Workplace,” jointly organised by ANHI Consultants International and the Kano State Government in Kaduna.
According to him, “your action, decision, and policy must reflect the values of transparency, honesty, and accountability. Together, we must build a legacy of integrity that will not only transform today but also guarantee a just and prosperous future for generations to come.”
The governor cautioned that corruption directly harms the poor and vulnerable, warning that the people of Kano are increasingly impatient with unfulfilled promises.
He further reminded participants that government success depends not only on policies but also on the integrity and professionalism of those tasked with implementation.
He encouraged them to remain courageous, visionary, and committed to doing the right thing, even under difficult circumstances.
