The Commission also treated 57 transfer of service cases and one disciplinary matter. All cases were carefully reviewed in line with established civil service rules, and appropriate action was taken.
Chairperson of the Commission, Hajiya Ladidi Ibrahim Garko, said the sittings are designed to ensure timely attention to the career progression of civil servants and to prevent stagnation in the system. She stressed that the Commission’s guiding principles remain fairness, transparency, and meritocracy.
She further urged affected officers to view their promotions, conversions, or transfers as opportunities for greater responsibility, reminding them that the government and people of Kano State expect renewed dedication, efficiency, and professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
“The Commission has a dual role of rewarding excellence and enforcing discipline, because a strong civil service must rest on both pillars,” Garko stated. She assured that the Commission would continue to work closely with the state government to drive reforms that modernize the civil service and improve public service delivery.
