Speaking during the destruction of the seized beer at Tudun Kalebawa,Dawakin Tofa local government area, Ganduje said Kano is one of the most peaceful states due to the tireless efforts of the state government and other relevant stakeholders.

The governor urged the general public to support government’s efforts by inculcating good moral values in their children to maintain a crime-free society.

“Kano is the first state to establish a ministry for religious affairs in the country which has gone a long way in promoting peaceful coexistence.

“Hisbah personnel should maintain the tempo as miscreants had devised new tactics of smuggling beer and hard drugs into the state”, Ganduje said.

Ganduje also reiterated the state government’s commitment to the welfare of the board’s personnel.
