Kano State Denies Halting Governance Over File Forwarding Directive

The Kano State government has refuted claims of halting governance due to a file forwarding directive issued by Governor Abba Yusuf. The government dismissed the directive as routine fiscal control measures taken in line with due process, emphasizing the need for prudence and legal respect.

The directive was issued as the 2025 appropriation law was nearing expiration, with the aim of preventing unauthorized expenditures and illegal financial commitments. The government's actions were to ensure no new spending obligations were undertaken without a valid appropriation law.

The move has sparked public debate and concerns over administrative gridlock within the state bureaucracy.
