The Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has revoked the “sales” of the Governor’s Lodge and the Hasiya Bayero Paediatric Hospital allegedly carried out by his predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, he said the move was, “in continuation of recouping public properties that was illegally sold by the immediate past administration in the state.
Governor Yusuf frowned at the immediate-past administration of Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for “the sales of Hasiya Bayero Paediatric hospital and the governor’s lodge located at Kwankwasiyya city.”
The statement read, “The Governor has directed for the immediate renovation of the health facility and revert to its operations as a specialist hospital that cater for the medical needs of hundreds of thousands of children from the state and beyond.
“The Governor who led a delegation of top government officials on inspection to the two revoked sites expressed displeasure on how the past government sold the places to their cabals for their selfish interest.
“As promised during electioneering processions, we will not relent in reclaiming public properties either mismanaged or sold via shoddy deal and what was reclaimed would be judiciously utilized for the benefit of people of the state.
“I am at this juncture announcing the revoking of the sales of Hasiya Bayero Paediatric hospital and the Governor’s lodge at Kwankwasiyya city that is hosting the office of Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and the health facility should be renovated and revert to its operations of health care delivery to children” emphasized the Governor.”
