The Kano State Government has drawn the attention of the general public to recent publications by some media outlets regarding the alleged land-swap deal involving Federal Government College Kano.
This was contained in a statement issued on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mustapha Muhammad.
The government categorically stated that it is not involved in any arrangement, negotiation, or agreement concerning the said property.
It reiterated that Federal Government College Kano remains under the exclusive rights of the Federal Government under the Federal Ministry of Education, which is solely responsible for decisions relating to the institution.
The state government further clarified that any attempt to link the administration or associates of Abba Kabir Yusuf to the alleged transaction is misleading and unfounded.
While acknowledging concerns raised by members of the public, the government urged media organisations to uphold the principles of accuracy, fairness, and responsible journalism, and to avoid publishing unverified or speculative reports.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, the rule of law, and the protection of public interest.
