Kano gov vows full implementation of #EndBadGovernance protest inquiry report

Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has promised to fully implement the recommendations of the Committee of Inquiry on the End Bad Governance Protest held on August 1, 2024.

This was just as he stated that public and private properties worth over ₦11 billion were destroyed in the protest, adding that ten people lost their lives, while seven others sustained critical injuries.

This was contained in a statement signed by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, a copy made available to the press in Kano.

While receiving the report from the committee’s chairman, Justice Lawan Wada (rtd.), during the 25th Kano State Executive Council meeting at Government House, the governor also announced that a white paper would be issued, identifying those responsible for sponsoring and perpetrating the violent protest.

Gov. Yusuf, however, emphasised that his administration did not interfere in the committee’s six-month-long investigation, allowing members the full autonomy to carry out their duties diligently.

He therefore stated, “I have confidence in the integrity and professionalism of the committee members. They were selected based on merit, and I am optimistic that they have done their job without bias.”

Yusuf also assured that the government would take appropriate action on the report’s findings to serve as a deterrent to those who incite violence and destruction.

He then commended the committee for a job well done and urged them to be prepared for future assignments if the government requires their expertise.

While presenting the report, Justice Wada disclosed that the committee visited all affected areas and engaged stakeholders to compile a comprehensive account of the protest’s impact.

The governor’s commitment to implementing the report’s recommendations signals a decisive step toward accountability and justice in Kano State.
