Gov Yusuf sacks Musa as Kano Head of Service
**Breaking News: Kano State Governor Sacks Head of Service** In a move aimed at revamping the Kano State civil service, the state's Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has terminated the appointment of the State Head of Service, Alhaji Abdullahi Musa, effective immediately. This decision is part of the current administration's efforts to make the civil service more efficient, disciplined, and effective in delivering quality services to the people of Kano State. According to a statement released by the governor's spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the decision to let go of the outgoing Head of Service was reached after a thorough review of the state's civil service system. The move is expected to bring about positive changes and improvements in the way government institutions operate. Although Alhaji Abdullahi Musa's tenure as a civil servant had elapsed in 2024, he was retained by the government for some time. However, the controversy surrounding his elongated tenure has now been put to rest, and he has been asked to hand over the affairs of the office to his acting replacement. In a gesture of appreciation, Governor Yusuf thanked the outgoing Head of Service for his dedication and contributions to the service of Kano State during his tenure. The Governor has expressed his best wishes for Musa's future endeavors and prayed for his continued success. As part of the transition process, Hajiya Bilkisu Shehu Maimota, the Permanent Secretary at the Cabinet Office, has been directed to serve as the Acting Head of Service pending the appointment of a substantive Head of Service. This development is expected to bring about a fresh wave of change and reforms in Kano State's civil service, and Nigerians are eagerly waiting to see the positive impact it will have on the state's governance and public service delivery.
