The Kano State Commissioner of Health under the Kwankwaso’s administration, Dr. Abubakar Ladan Yusuf has been sued by the Kano State Government for alleged mismanagement of a whole sum of N47 Million public funds earmarked for utility bills and allowance for the state students studying abroad at Masoura University, Egypt.
The Kano State Chairman Public Complaint and Anti Corruption Agency Muhuyi Rimingado, disclosed this at a press conference where he stated that a date for mentioning of the case would be communicated to the commission by a Kano state High court.
According to Rimingado, the commission had been investigating the matter since 2016 before bringing three charges against the former commissioner.
