When I assumed office as Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, I made a commitment that I would strengthen the capacity and welfare of our staff across board

Following the successful training and workshops organized for the officers on different skills, I on this day, 24th June, 2016, fulfilled another important promise, in futherence to several engagements and official assignments. The staff of the Ministry of Information and Intermal Affairs, at different layers, have consistently raised concerns regarding the inadequacy of working tools and mobility required to effectively discharge the official responsibilities.

By the grace of Allah, today we were able to empower all 44 Local Government Information Officers with iPhones, operational vehicles, and a stipend of ₦50,000 for plate number registration and fueling to support their daily routine as grassroot information managers

This intervention is driven by our determination to reposition information management in Kano State and expose our officers to the realities of the digital age. The communication landscape has evolved significantly from conventional media to digital and social media platforms, making it imperative for our officers to adapt and effectively engage citizens using modern tools and technologies.

Our objective is not only to enhance their productivity but also to make their work easier, improve the speed of information dissemination, strengthen government-citizen engagement, and ensure that accurate and timely information reaches the public.

This milestone reflects our commitment to building a professional, motivated, and technologically equipped information workforce capable of effectively projecting government policies, programmes, and achievements at the grassroots level.

I wish to express my profound appreciation to His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kano State, Alh. Abba Kabir Yusuf for his unwavering support, visionary leadership, and commitment to strengthening public communication and service delivery. His approval and support for this initiative demonstrates his dedication to empowering public servants, deepening grassroots engagement, and ensuring that government institutions are equipped to serve the people more effectively.

Together, we will continue to build a modern, responsive, and people-centered information system that supports the development and progress of Kano State.
