Kano State Government Launches Committee To Examine Employees of Ex Governor Ganduje
In order to review and compile a report on the 10,800 individuals employed by the government of the recently-departed governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje towards the conclusion of his term, the Kano State Government in North Western Nigeria has established a 22-person committee.
Dr. Baffa Bichi, the State Government's Secretary, emphasised that the committee has three weeks to finish its task and that it is their responsibility to determine whether the hiring of the listed 10,800 workers by the previous administration adhered to the law.

He added that after taking office, the current administration inherited a lot of issues from the previous administration that had an impact on the state's polity.
He claimed that the change had a negative impact on many things, including the provision of healthcare and educational services as well as the payment of pensions and salary deductions. "The problem was the last-minute hiring of nearly 10,000 government servants without established guidelines for hiring into the civil service.
The employment process "was informed by the expressed manpower need and requirement of the affected Ministries, Departments, and Agencies or are just based on certain primordial considerations suggesting nepotism as alleged," he said. "Government viewed this as an anomaly and therefore resolved to set up a committee to study and review the entire process.
He claims that the committee's other duties include generating a list of the employees currently on the payroll, determining the financial effects on state finances, and determining if budgetary provisions were followed.
"The committee should identify those already on the state payroll as a result of their recruitment as well as those who have not yet received appointment letters as a result of the current government's suspension of the exercise."

The committee will work to the best of its ability in accordance with the terms and conditions indicated in the appointment letters, according to the chairman of the committee, Umar Shehu Minjibir.
He stated, "We will consider both sides, the government side as well as the side of those civil servants who were engaged by the immediately preceding administration, and we will make the required recommendations.
The 22-member committee, which also included nine secretaries, was divided into three panels so that they could work concurrently and finish within the allotted time.
