Kano accountant-general resigns

Aisha Bello, accountant-general of Kano state, has tendered her resignation.

TheCable gathered that Bello sent a resignation letter to Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of the state, on Thursday.

Before making her accountant-general, Ganduje had appointed Bello as commissioner of budget and economic planning.

Recently, she was investigated by the Kano State Public Complaint and Anti-Corruption Commission for alleged arbitrary release of funds without the governor’s approval.

Sources said the panel which probed her cleared all the allegations levelled against Bello.

She was said to have quit office as a result of “undue interference” in her duties by some people who were close to the Governor.
