Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State has expressed dissatisfaction with the poor performance of the Refuse Management and Sanitation Board (REMASAB) and the Kano Road Traffic Agency (KAROTA).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Yusuf spoke during an unscheduled visit to the agencies, on Sunday.
Yusuf was dismayed by the inefficient management of facilities and personnel.
At REMASAB, he found only seven functional waste evacuation trucks out of 30, and only three pay loaders were operational out of 15.
Additionally, he discovered that only 10 workers were permanent and pensionable, while the rest were casuals, a situation he deemed inhumane.
At KAROTA, he found a significant number of operational vehicles grounded.
The Governor directed the managements of both agencies to submit comprehensive inventories of their equipment and vehicles.
Yusuf expressed disappointment with the poor state of the facilities in spite of the government’s significant investment.
The governor, therefore, vowed to overhaul the system, emphasizing the importance of effective performance in critical agencies like KAROTA and REMASAB.
Consequently, the Managing Directors of both agencies were summoned for an emergency meeting with the Chief of Staff to address the challenges.
