Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has offered a permanent and pensionable appointment to a casual staff member of the Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board, Dayyabu Haladu (aka Dan Gezawa), who returned missing $16,000 during the last Hajj operation in the state.
The Governor hinted, “As a casual staff member whose allowance is barely enough to take home, this gentleman managed to return the lost money worth over $15 million.
It shows how this person has a fear of Allah and deserves to be celebrated,” the governor stressed.
In addition to the permanent appointment, the Governor has also offered a special gift of N1 million and an automatic slot for the forthcoming Hajj exercise to the personnel.
Governor Yusuf disclosed this while receiving the report of the Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board for the 2023 Hajj operation.
According to a press statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Comrade Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, made available on Tuesday to the press, Governor Yusuf expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the casual staff for displaying the act of self-contentment.
The statement further noted that the governor said the character displayed by Dayyabu is excellent and worthy of emulation by all and sundry.
Yusuf then called on the good people of Kano to maintain the hard-earned reputation of the state by showcasing the good virtues of trustworthiness, self-discipline, and contentment so that they could live a happy life.
While responding, Dayyabu Haladu (Dan Gezawa) revealed that he has returned the lost money to the authority of the state Pilgrims Welfare Board for the fear of Allah, “knowing well that it is not proper to use what does not belong to him despite his current economic status,” he said.
He then expressed gratitude to the state governor for the gesture extended to him, saying that it was the most joyful moment of his life.
In a related development, Governor Yusuf has promised that the famous tricyclist, Auwalu Salisu, who returned the missing N16m, will soon be honoured by the state government.
The Governor added that pointers have been indicating significant improvement in showing the extreme level of trustworthiness by the good people of Kano, which by extension is projecting the good image of the state.
