He stressed his administration’s continued determination to make the agency more articulate and responsive to the needs of the state.
Ganduje added, “Although the Hisbah doing very well in terms of protecting societal values and crime prevention, there is the need to encourage its officers to do more, by proving them with working materials and a better working environment.
“I am also happy that you are working hand in hand with security agencies to check antisocial activities. This is very commendable. That fact that you intervene in settling family disputes, provide guidance and counseling services, gather intelligence information and engage other positive communal endeavors that security agencies do not handle means that you should be motivated to do more”, the Governor added.
Ganduje then called on the Hisba Corps to maintain cordial relations with other security agencies and to keep their enthusiasm alive, in the interest of a refined social order.
While taking the governor round the board headquarters, the Commander General of the Agency, Sheikh Harun Ibn Sina, asked Ganduje to complete and abandoned office complex in the headquarters, upgrade structures at their female section and provide them with more operational vehicles.
Ibn Sina also showed the governor assorted intoxicating drinks confiscated by his men in different parts of Kano, explaining that the suspects arrested with the drinks would soon be charged to court, in line with extant laws of the state.
