“Government assets are not personal property. Once an official leaves office, all government vehicles and assets in their custody must be returned immediately,” said Sa’idu Yahaya, Chairman of the Commission.
The commission had received formal complaints and notification from the Office of the Secretary to the Kano State Government regarding alleged abuse of office and the need for the ex-commissioners to return government property.
