Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has immediately suspended the Acting Head of Service and Permanent Secretary, Establishment, Salisu Mustapha, over allegations of salary deductions and the non-payment of salaries to some civil servants.

A statement released on Thursday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, confirmed that Mustapha has also been instructed to step down as Permanent Secretary, Establishment, in the Office of the Head of Service to allow for a thorough investigation.

To ensure administrative continuity, the governor has appointed Malam Umar Muhammad Jalo, the Permanent Secretary of REPA, as the new Acting Head of Service until the investigation concludes.

Governor Yusuf reiterated his firm stance against financial misconduct, stressing that anyone found responsible would face severe consequences.

An investigative committee led by Abdulkadir Abdussalam has been tasked with uncovering the causes of the irregularities within seven days and submitting its findings.

Salisu Mustapha had been appointed Acting Head of Service earlier this month after the substantive Head of Service, Abdullahi Musa, went on medical leave for treatment in India.
