Kano State Redeploys Official Amid Alleged Misconduct
The Kano State Government has taken swift action in response to allegations of misconduct within the civil service by approving the immediate redeployment of Mustapha Safiyanu Kabuga, the Permanent Secretary of the Civil Service Commission. 

The allegations pertain to the unauthorized printing and signing of letters of appointment for positions within the state civil service.

In an official communication, Kabiru Sa’idu Magami, the Permanent Secretary of Administration and General Services in the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, conveyed the government's decision. 

The letter also announced the establishment of a fact-finding committee tasked with investigating the matter thoroughly. 

The three-member committee will be led by Dr. Sulaiman Wali Sani, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Civil Service Matters. 

The committee has been given a mandate to conclude its investigation and submit a detailed report within a period of ten days.

As part of the immediate measures taken, Mustapha Safiyanu Kabuga has been temporarily reassigned to the Office of the Head of Civil Service, pending the completion of the committee's inquiry. 

This move underscores the seriousness with which the government regards the allegations and its commitment to transparency and accountability within the civil service.

To ensure the seamless functioning of the Civil Service Commission during this period, Salahuddern Isa Habib has been appointed as the Acting Permanent Secretary. 

This appointment will take effect from Monday, 14th August, 2023.

The committee's primary objectives are to ascertain the extent of the issuance of unauthorised appointment letters within the state civil service, identify the individuals responsible for the production of these letters, establish the source of authority or directives behind the printing of the illegal documents, and present appropriate recommendations to the government in accordance with established regulations and procedures.

The additional members of the committee, Engr. Kabir Jibrin Zakirai and Malam Umar Jalo, bring diverse expertise and perspectives to the investigative process. 

The government's decisive actions in launching this inquiry reflect its commitment to upholding the integrity of the civil service and maintaining the highest standards of governance. 

As the investigation unfolds, Kano State residents and civil servants alike will be closely watching for the committee's findings and the subsequent actions taken by the government to address any lapses in the system.
