Ganduje inaugurates committee on missing children
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has inaugurated a 16-member implementation committee on the report of the judicial commission of inquiry into missing children.
Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Abba Anwar, disclosed this in a statement at the weekend in Kano.
Ganduje described the report and recommendations submitted by the commission as critical, which should be implemented to address the menace.
“After receiving the report of the judicial commission of inquiry, we found out that the recommendations as important as they are should best be implemented by those who made the suggestions.
“There are no better persons to implement these recommendations than you, who made the recommendations. Your first committee was time bound and this one is without limited time,” Ganduje was quoted as saying in the statement.
The governor commended members of the judicial commission of inquiry for an excellent job, noting that this explains why they were chosen and retained for the new task to facilitate successful implementation of the report.
He announced that Justice Wada Rano, who headed the defunct judicial commission of inquiry, would serve as chairman with Musa Bichi as secretary.

The 14 other members of the implementation committee are drawn from the public and private sectors as well as civil society organisations.
The judicial commission of inquiry was inaugurated in October, 2019, sequel to the rescuing of children allegedly abducted in the state.
The commission was mandated to examine the case of missing persons in the state between 2010 and 2019, and was expected to submit its report within four weeks.
