The Kano State government in North West Nigeria has assured the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) of maximum cooperation in the fight against corruption in Kano State.
Governor Abba Yusuf gave the assurance when the ICPC Chairman, Mr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, led the management team of the Commission to pay a courtesy call to the governor in Kano City.
The Governor, represented by his Deputy Aminu Gwarzo, expressed his delight with the visit and commended the appointment of the ICPC boss by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu describing it as a testament to his pedigree and undiluted commitment to the Nigerian project.
The governor also, commended the government for putting mechanisms such as ICPC and EFCC in place noting that the agencies will help curb impunity in the system.
“It may interest the ICPC management to know that my administration’s zero tolerance on corruption and related tendencies remain sacrosanct, thus in ensuring the successful implementation of this government’s anti-corruption policies, I prioritized a preventive approach without compromising the existing curative mechanisms in the State’s Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC)”, he added.
Earlier, the ICPC Chairman thanked the Executive Governor for the Commission audience, explaining that “the Commission had held a Management Retreat in the state, and it was only proper to pay a courtesy call.”
The Chairman recalled the previous partnership of ICPC with the Kano State PCACC in the areas of training and sought a continued partnership with the agency in the fight against corruption.
The courtesy call featured goodwill messages from the Chairman of the Kano State PCACC and the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of the State.
