Kano governor Yusuf sacks eight directors

About eight directors of the Kano State Internal Revenue Service (KIRS) have been relived of their jobs.

Although their collective or individual offences were not stated, the state government noted that the development was an ongoing effort towards achieving the desired objectives of the Yusuf administration.

The development is coming just a week after the Supreme Court affirmed Yusuf as the lawfully elected governor of Kano state.

The sacked directors include: Director Assessment, Muhammad Kabir Umar; Director Human Resource, Kabiru Magaji; Director Government Business, Ibrahim Sammani; Aminu Umar Kawu, Director Road and Other Taxes, and Muhd Auwal Abdullahi, Director Tax Audit, Investigation and Debt Management.
Others affected are: Abubakar Garba Yusuf, Director ICT, Hamisu Ado Magaji, Director PAYE, and Bashir Yusuf Madobi, Director Legal and Enforcement.

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, who has already approved their sack, has directed them (affected persons) to hand over all duties and responsibilities to their deputies.

The chairman of Kano Internal Revenue Service (KIRS), Sani Abdulkadir Dambo, communicated the removal of the eight IGR directors in a circular.

He said: “As part of the ongoing efforts towards achieving the desired objectives of the present government, I am directed to inform you that the undermentioned directors have been relieved of their responsibilities and are to hand over to their deputies immediately.”
