Jigawa State government has petitioned the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) seeking the commission’s assistance in recovering several property belonging to the government that had been encroached upon in Kano. In the petition dated July 15 but sighted by Daily Trust on Monday, the Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwal Sankara, appealed to the Executive Secretary of the commission, Muhuyi Magaji, to help investigate circumstances surrounding the allocation of the said properties and help recover it for the Jigawa state government.
Sankara explained that the property were allocated to Jigawa State government in 1993 after the creation of the state from the old Kano state as part of the sharing formula between the two states. “It is worth noting that since 1991 after the creation of Jigawa State from old Kano State this issue of assets sharing becomes problematic despite several efforts made by Jigawa State to amicably resolve the issue,†he added while appealing on behalf of the state’s Committee on Investigation of Land Properties.
