The Director-General of the National Productivity Centre (NPC), Dr. Baffa Babba Dan’agundi, has commended Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, for his strategic working visit to the Kano State Police Command Headquarters in Bompai, describing it as a timely and morale-boosting gesture that underscores the importance of collaboration in the fight against crime.
Governor Yusuf’s visit was aimed at commending the Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, and officers of the command for their professionalism, diligence, and swift response in arresting suspects linked to the brutal murder of a woman and her six children in Ciranchi, Kumbotso Local Government Area—an incident that shocked residents across the state.
Dr. Dan’agundi said the Governor’s decision to personally visit the command headquarters sends a powerful message of appreciation and encouragement to security personnel, noting that recognition from the highest level of leadership inspires greater commitment to duty.
