A concerned citizen of Kano State, Comrade Abbas Datti, has called on Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to address alleged activities of the Chairman of Kano Internal Revenue Services (KIRS), which he claims are affecting the agency’s operations and staff welfare.
In a letter addressed to the Governor, Datti outlined issues such as the redeployment of numerous staff to other ministries and the premature retirement of some employees. He warned that these actions could weaken the agency’s mandate and erode public trust in its operations.
“It has come to the notice of many residents, including myself, that certain practices under the leadership of the current chairman may be hindering the optimal functioning of Kano Internal Revenue Services,” Datti stated.
He stressed that KIRS is vital for generating revenue for Kano State and that strong leadership and adherence to best practices are crucial for the agency’s performance.
He urged the Governor to ensure due process in the agency’s operations to protect its efficiency and credibility.
“As a resident deeply invested in the progress of my home state, I humbly appeal to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to look into these matters and take necessary action,” Datti wrote.
At the time of compiling this report, all efforts by Kano Times to contact the Chairman of the Kano Internal Revenue Service (KIRS), Dr. Zayd Abubakar, for comments on the matter were unsuccessful
