Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has ordered an immediate investigation into a contentious medical drug supply contract involving all 44 local government areas.
The governor vowed to take action against those responsible, warning that “anybody found to be behind it will have himself to blame”.
Governor Yusuf denied any knowledge of the contract, which was recently awarded for the supply of drugs to the local councils, and directed the State Anti-Corruption Commission to leave no stone unturned in their investigation.
In a statement released to the press, the Governor’s office assured the public that the outcome of the investigation would be made public, and that anyone found to be involved in any wrongdoing would face the full force of the law.
The governor appealed for patience from the people of Kano State, promising that justice would be served once the investigation was complete.
Recall that the controversy was triggered by a video made by a popular Northern skit maker, popularly known as Dan Bello, who alleged that the government was enmeshed in the said contract of accumulating N10m from the 44 local government councils in the state.
