Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has dissolved the caretaker chairmen in the 44 local government areas in the state.
He directed the caretaker chairmen to hand over to the Directors of Personnel Management, DPM, in their respective council areas.
The governor made the announcement during a special meeting held at the Africa House, Government House Kano, saying that the dissolution applies to all chairmen, vice chairmen, secretaries, and councilors in the state.
However, he warned the DPMs to refrain from engaging in political activities.
“We are warning the DPMs to make sure they will not interfere in any political activities as respected civil servants,” he said.
The governor thanked the caretaker chairmen for their contributions to the development of their areas and hinted at potential future collaborations.
The caretaker chairmen, in turn, thanked the governor for the opportunity given to them to serve their communities within the time given to them.
The Kano State House of Assembly had approved a two-month extension to the tenure of the caretaker chairmen, which was billed to expire on September 8, 2024.
