The Managing Director of the Kano State Housing Corporation, Alhaji Abdullahi Rabi'u, has issued a stern warning to staff against engaging in unauthorized allocation of corner shops and residential houses across the state.

During a strategy meeting with directors at the Corporation's new headquarters in Kwankwasiyya City, Rabi'u emphasized the need to enforce Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf's directives on transparency, accountability, and compliance with lawful procedures in all land-related matters.

According to a statement released by the Corporation's Director of Public Enlightenment, Ismail Garba Gwammaja, the meeting was organized to "sensitise directors, and review existing laws and policies for the Housing Corporation to operate based on the laid down rules and regulations and within its mandate."

Rabi'u reminded staff, particularly those handling land matters, to operate within the law and uphold the governor's position on illegal allocations in both urban and rural areas of the state. He stressed the importance of following due process and warned against any form of land racketeering.

"You recall that Kano State Governor, Engr. Abba Yusuf has enacted an executive order prohibiting the allocation of land for curbside shops or corner shops under any guise, aiming to curb illegal land allocations and protect public spaces," the MD stated.

He further emphasized that the state government remains firmly committed to the rule of law and safeguarding public interest, adding that "this initiative demonstrates the government's determination to promote good governance and accountability in the management of public resources."

The Managing Director also commended the dedication and professionalism of the Corporation's workforce, noting that their contributions are vital to the current administration's success. He urged staff to "maintain the tempo towards achieving the organisational goals."

This directive aligns with Governor Yusuf's broader efforts to ensure proper management of public resources and spaces in Kano State, reinforcing his administration's commitment to transparency in governance.
