Ahead of the Council Polls next month, Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Yusuf, has announced the dissolution of the Interim Management Committees of the 44 local government areas of the State with immediate effect.

In a Statement  by the governor’s Spokesperson, Sanusi Bature,  said the governor announced the dissolution of the Committees during a Valedictory meeting with members in Kano.

The Governor appreciated the out-going Interim Management Committees members for their commitment in steering affairs of the local governments for half a year and assisted the state government in the implementation of its policies and programmes at the grassroot level.

He assured that Kano State Government will continue to reckon with and carry them along in the state engagements for the benefit of people of Kano.

Yusuf directed the Interim management Committees to handover the affairs of their respective areas to Directors Personnel Management (DPMs) who will run the councils pending the local governments elections coming up on the 26th of October this year.

He called on the Directors Personnel Management to be transparent and adhere strictly to rules and regulations guiding their conducts as the overseers of local governments in the state.
