KDSG harps on synergy between boards, management

The Kaduna State Government has emphasized the importance of governing boards providing policy direction and oversight without interfering in the day-to-day management of their institutions. Dr AbdulKadir Muázu Meyere, the Secretary to the State Government, made this point at the inauguration of the Boards of four agencies. He stressed that a clear distinction between policy direction and day-to-day administration is crucial for a harmonious and productive tenure.

Meyere advised the boards to adhere to due process, the Public Procurement Act, and other relevant financial regulations, while maintaining the highest standards of prudence and accountability. He cautioned against conflicts of interest and the need for confidentiality. Meyere encouraged collaboration between the boards and the chief executives and staff of their agencies, urging them to set clear and measurable targets for performance assessment.

The government promised to provide the necessary support for the boards to fulfill their responsibilities. The mandate of the governing boards is central to the transformative agenda of Governor Uba Sani's administration. Meyere highlighted the significance of the Kaduna State Livestock Regulatory Authority in the development of a vital sector, the Kaduna Media Corporation's role in informing and educating citizens, and the Schools Quality Assurance Authority and Scholarship and Loans Board's focus on human capital development.
