Governor of Kano State Abba Kabir Yusuf has sworn in 43 special advisers and charged them to be bold enough to look him in the eyes and tell him the truth whenever he goes wrong.
The governor who gave the admonition during the swearing-in of the aides at the Government House on Wednesday, said all the advisers were expected to advise in earnest and work closely with him for the benefit of the state.
He enjoined them to work hand-in-hand with the civil servants so that his government can perform optimally in the areas of human and capital development.
“To the advisers, they should know that they have taken oath of office and they would answer to those oaths only by dedicating themselves to the promotion of the wellbeing of the state.
“Kano needs you today and your selection was based on your proven track record in the field of humanity, you should do all your best by advising us appropriately to make Kano great,” Abba stated.
The governor challenged civil servants on loyalty. He reminded them that when he assumed office, he ensured all those he met on the ground were promoted and given a chance to work optimally.
“We have done much in the last 100 days in office, by prompt payment of salaries, allowances and the promotion of the civil servants, therefore we will not tolerate disloyalty from any civil servant who is not ready to work with us and should be prepared to go,” he added.
The governor asked the head of service to reemphasize to the civil servants the need for dedication to work and service to humanity.
