Governor Abba Yusuf has approved the reinstatement of Muhyi Magaji as the chairman of Kano’s Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) to complete his tenure.

This is contained in a statement issued by the governor’s press secretary, Bature Tofa, in Kano on Wednesday.

The statement recalled that Mr Magaji was suspended from office by former governor Abdullahi Ganduje-led administration.

Mr Magaji had sued the Kano government in court, which ordered the reinstatement to complete his tenure.

The court also ordered the government to pay his outstanding salaries since the period of his suspension.

“The reinstatement is with immediate effect and in compliance with the court order,” Mr Tofa added.
