Balarabe, represented by Commissioner I of the commission, Alhaji Rabi'u Gezawa, said that the aim of the committee is to identify gaps in anti-corruption initiatives that result in system decay, poverty, mismanagement of public funds and dilapidated public infrastructure.
"The committee has stakeholders such as members of Civil Society Organizations as members.
"The strategy seeks to develop and implement mechanisms aimed at improving governance of public institutions at State and Local Government levels. They seek to combat corruption-related matters and enhance government's determination to reduce corruption in the society."
He noted that the national anti-corruption reforms have been replicated in Kano State.
Balarabe called on members of the committee to rise from the two-day policy training determined to benefit from the policy objectives in achieving the desired goals.
