Governor Abba Yusuf has described as inhuman the keeping of a  larger part  of staffers of the State’s Refuse Management and Sanitation Board REMASAB ,as casuals for   as much as 20 years.

This is just as he expressed disappointment with the abysmal performance of the  agency and the Kano Road Traffic Agency KAROTA  in the discharge of their statutory public responsibilities .

In a statement issued on Sunday, July 1, 2024, by his media aide, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa,the Kano State Governor, on a visit to the operational headquarters of REMASAB, was shocked to discover that only 10 workers of the agency are permanent and pensionable.

Governor Yusuf who could not hide his anger, was visibly worried over the unfunctional State of  most of the agency’s operational vehicles and other equipment, despite the huge resources that have been placed at its disposal.

Only about seven out of available 30 waste disposal trucks and three out of 15 pay loaders of the Agency were functional as at the time the Governor visited .

Similarly, at KAROTA’s Operational Office, Governor Yusuf was also confronted with the sight of a significant number of grounded operational vehicles and other facilities.

Dissatisfied with the development, the Governor directed the agency’s Management to immediately  submit a comprehensive inventory of their operational vehicles to the Government.

He regretted that despite the huge investments by the Government, the two critical agencies have failed to measure up to expectations.

” Iam not happy with what I saw at the two agencies  This calls for a total overhaul of the system. We can not afford to fail in the discharge of the mandates  of agencies like KAROTA and REMASAB ” he insisted.

The Managements of the two agencies have, therefore, been asked to interface with the Chief of Staff to the Governor to fashion ways out of the ugly situation.

Governor Yusuf may most, likely, ring some changes within the top hierarchies of the two dysfunctional agencies in the days ahead.

Meanwhile, Governor Yusuf has expressed dismay over the alleged protection of drug dealers and their ill- gotten wealth by some pliable Judges of the country’s Judiciary.

He, therefore, directed the State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, to come up with a detailed frame work on how to meaningfully challenge illicit drugs dealers and their judges enablers.

In a statement made available by his Tofa on Sunday, June 30, the Kano State Governor emphasised the need for collaborative efforts between Judicial Officers and the State Government in protecting the citizenry, particularly, youths from the debilitating effects of hard substances .

According to the Governor, dealers on illicit drugs are most times procuring Court orders seamlessly ,for the release of their confiscated products from corrupt Judges, whom he said do not mean well for the country.

Governor Yusuf also lamented that this unfortunate situation, has tended to draw back ,the efforts of the  state Government in combating the menace of drug trafficking and consumption in the state.
