Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has denied any knowledge of a contract recently awarded for the supply of drugs to 44 Local Government Councils in the state.

The governor stated this in a statement released on Sunday, jointly signed by the state Commissioner for Information, Baba Dantiye, and his spokesperson, Sanusi Tofa, and was made available to newsmen in Kano.

The statement added, “The governor has therefore mandated the Executive Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission to promptly investigate the allegation and report the outcome for further necessary action.

“Furthermore, Yusuf urged the good people of Kano State to exercise patience pending the outcome of the investigation.”
