The new Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, was sworn in Monday, expressing dismay at what he described as a huge debt profile left behind by his predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Yusuf, in his inaugural speech, vowed to probe the circumstances that led to the huge debt liability, as soon as he settles down for business.
Ganduje was absent at the handover ceremony.
Alhaji Usman Alhaji, who represented the ex-governor, disclosed that Ganduje administration collected N1.2tn loan in the last eight years, leaving behind a total of about N241bn debt, comprising loans, contractual obligations, among others.

“In line with our transition advisory. I am announcing, today, that all public places and assets that were immorally plundered and sold by the Ganduje administration should be taken over by law enforcement agencies pending the final decision of the Government.
We have noted that the last administration had sold lands in and around schools, religious and cultural sites, hospitals and clinics, graveyards and green areas, and along the city walls of Kano. We have also noted that they indiscriminately sold numerous other landed properties and assets belonging to the Kano State Government within and outside the State to their cronies and agents. – AKY “.
