Kano Gov rejects accountant-general’s resignation

Kano State Accountant General, Hajiya Aisha Bello, on Thursday
in Kano tendered her letter of resignation to Governor Abdullahi
Umar Ganduje.

However, sources said the governor refused to accept the
letter.

In the letter dated February 20, 2018, Bello expressed
appreciation to the governor for offering her the opportunity to
serve the state in two different capacities — as Commissioner for
Planning and Budget and subsequently as the State Accountant
General.

The letter, which was received by the office of Secretary to the
State Government on Thursday, February 22, 2018, did not specify
any reasons for her resignation.

However, sources said her resignation might not be unconnected
to alleged controversy of interference in the performance of her
duties by some prominent personalities in the administration.

However, it was learnt that the accountant-general had also
tendered a letter of resignation to the governor last year, citing
insubordination by the treasurer, as well as her inability to
discharge her responsibilities “without interference from here and
there.”

According to sources, the governor was said to have rejected her
resignation letter.
