This is contained in a statement issued by the Director of Public Enlightenment, Civil Service Commission, Musa Garba, a copy of which was made available to The PUNCH on Wednesday.
According to Garba, the Chairman of the Committee, Dr. Umar Minjibir, disclosed this while presenting the committee’s report to the Secretary to the Kano State Government, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi on Tuesday.
The committee inaugurated on August 16, 2023, was mandated to among others review the recruitment of 10,800 workers employed by Ganduje’s administration following the discovery that the exercise was characterised by flagrant abuse of civil service rules and nepotism.
Minjibir who is also the state chairman of the CSC said, “Out of the 13,916 recruited workers, only 12, 566 were screened while the remaining 1,350 did not appear or present themselves for the exercise.”
He explained that the committee exhaustively dealt with the issue and made far-reaching recommendations in line with its terms of reference, and therefore, expressed the hope that the state Government will find the recommendations useful.
In his remark, the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Baffa Bichi, while thanking members of the Committee for a thorough job well done, said the State Government will look into their submission to do the needful.
He assured that the government will do justice when making decisions on the recommendations proffered.
“This is because the administration of Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf accords priority to the civil service being the engine room for Governance,” Bichi was quoted as saying in the statement.
