Ganduje Foundation Rolls Out Application Forms For Private Hisbah Group In Kano

The rollout of application forms for recruitment into a newly established private Hisbah organisation initiated by former Kano State governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, was officially launched on Saturday, December 6, 2025, in Kano.

The launch was led by a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Baffa Babba Dan Agundi, alongside a former Kano State Hisbah Commander, Sheikh Harun Ibn Sina.

Speaking at the event, Ibn Sina, who is spearheading the initiative tagged ‘Independent Hisbah Fisabilillah’ under the Ganduje Foundation, clarified that the new Hisbah was not a government agency but a voluntary organisation established for religious and humanitarian services.

“This is not a government body. It is a voluntary organisation we created purely for the sake of Allah. We are not in competition with the government’s Hisbah,” he said.

According to him, the creation of the independent Hisbah was aimed at providing a new platform for 12,000 individuals who were previously disengaged from the state-run Hisbah.

LEADERSHIP reports that the independent Hisbah initiative has been met with apprehension from some Kano State residents, who see it as a divisive tactic by former Governor Ganduje.
