Kano
State governor, Mr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has set up an Internally
Generated Revenue (IGR) Committee to tackle the state’s current
financial situation and also reduce over dependence on federal
allocations.
The committee which was given four weeks to
submit its report will also recommend to the government possible ways of
increasing the state’s IGR.
The state is said to have over three billion naira debt to settle, among other liabilities.
The
Chairman of the committee, Professor Isah Dandago, a Professor of
Accounting from Bayero University, Kano, said he chaired the same
committee in 2003, but the report which should have tackled the
situation was abandoned by the then government.
The committee
is, however, optimistic that the situation will be over if government
will work on their recommendation after four weeks.
The governor
has also flagged off a 7-day sanitation exercise tagged ‘Keep Kano
Clean’, in all the 44 local governments of the state.
Mr. Ganduje also directed the state’s sanitary inspection workers to closely monitor house-to-house compliance.
