Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, says the state has suffered the worst form of corruption when compared to other states of the region.

Yusuf made this known on Saturday at a capacity-building workshop for the state’s civil servants in the rank of director on the principles of anti-corruption.

According to him, Kano was hit by one of the major grand corruptions above any other state for eight years when Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje governed the state from 2015 to 2023.

Represented at the occasion held at Dawakin Kudu Local Government by his deputy, Aminu Gwarzo, the governor said corruption has undermined the progress and development of the nation and no one was in doubt.

“Kano State in particular has suffered and experienced one of the major grand corruptions perhaps above any other state in this region over the past eight years.

“Our investment and state assets as the region’s center of commerce were hopelessly and fraudulently sold and those who acquired them are initiators and executors of the whole process.

“Most of those investments managed by Kano State Investment and Properties have both proceeds and the property gone back to the same people.

“Our infrastructure suffered years of neglect occasioned by multifaceted problems we are battling with after assuming office,” he lamented.

The governor disclosed that even the revenue generation aspect was bedeviled by leakages for the benefit of a few to the detriment of the state’s collective interest.

According to him, heavy corruption during the Ganduje administration plunged the water resources sector into decay when he took over the reins of power, resulting in hardship even with the loan of six million Euros purportedly spent in that sector.
