“I thank you for being prudent in the management of your respective ministries’ resources. You proved your mettle by exhibiting exemplary leadership,” he stated.

“For not being involved in any fraudulent activity during your time in office. None of you has ever been accused of any form of corrupt practices. This is commendable.”

He was also categorical in stating that all the commissioners would remain in office up to May 29th, 2019, explaining that,

“Today’s sitting marks the final Executive Council meeting. Not the end of your tenure in office. You will continue up to May 29th, 2019.”

Ganduje singled out his deputy, Dr Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, who he said “came mid-way into the administration. But he contributed immensely towards the development of the state.”

He went on to commend the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, who he described as the general coordinator of government activities.

For the Head of Service, Muhammad Awwal Na’Iya, he commended him for facilitating good working relationship between government and workers throughout the four-year term, emphasising that “the Head of Service did well in building cordial relationship between government and labour.

“I have been in government for many years of my life, but I never had it so good and smooth government-labour relation than this. Throughout the four years, they have been peaceful with labour unions and workers generally,”

He noted.

On the appointment of new permanent secretaries, Ganduje reveals that,

“We are putting in place procedures that will not pave way for business as usual. Business shouldn’t be as usual.”

He added that government would consider the inclusion of professional people, stressing that “…we must give technical people chance to come on board.”

“There is going to be performance indicators, like well management of people, zero-tolerance to corruption, good and effective file management and transparency among others,”

He disclosed.
