From ISMA’ILA MUHAMMAD, Dutse

Speaking at a Dutse municipal council chamber at the occasion of his kick-off tour of the 27 councils, lamented how corruptive monopoly distorted the administration of local councils, adding, ‘’we will not condone any act of wrongdoings or fraudulent act with public funds anymore’’.
Said him: ‘’We’re commited to the service of humanity with utmost sincerity of purpose,therefore any public office holder will henceforth be afforded with all his needs while in return be monitors to ensure probity and accountability.’’
According to him, it is sad to note that local government administration is that the centre of fraud in public service, stressing, ‘’we must act positively to rectify the situation so that little sanity could be restored in the system.’’
The governor who attributed the downturn of the state in the last 15 years of its creation on the elite due to their conservative monopoly, challenged that the duty of reinvigorating the state to its rightful position is a collective responsibility and not for a single individual.
He also called on staff of all the 27 councils and the entire civil servants in the state to be punctual to duty and shun any vices detrimental to civil service rules and regulations.
Earlier, the permanent secretary in-charge of the state ministry of Local Government Serice Commission, Alhaji Garba Muhammad Aujara had said that the governor’s tour was intended to afford the state government understand the problems of local government administration with a view to solving them.
