Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State on Thursday received the report of the Technical Investigative Committee constituted to probe the recent fire incident at the popular Farm Centre GSM Market in Kano metropolis.
The report was formally presented to the governor by the Commissioner for Special Duties, Hon. Nasiru Sule Garo, who led other members of the committee to Government House.
While receiving the document, Governor Yusuf commended the committee for what he described as a thorough and timely investigation.
