Speaking at the 2024 International Anti-Corruption Day event held at the Coronation Hall, Government House, Kano, Governor Yusuf reassured the public of his administration’s determination to uphold the integrity and independence of the anti-corruption agency.

"My administration has given the State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission a free hand to carry out its duties without fear, favor, or interference," the governor declared.

Kano’s Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Haruna Isa Dederi, echoed the governor’s sentiments, noting that the anti-corruption commission has excelled due to the administration’s full support and non-interference.

The chairman of the commission, Barr. Muhuyi Magaji Rimin-Gado, expressed gratitude for the governor’s unwavering support.
