Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has applauded the school uniform distribution committee for their integrity in returning ₦100 million in unspent funds from the ₦2 billion allocated for the initiative.
During the launch of 798,000 school uniforms for Primary One pupils at the Kano Government House, Governor Yusuf highlighted the committee’s honesty as a reflection of his administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
