Group Support Kano Govt’s Effort of Sanitizing NGO’s and CBO’s
Fifty prominent Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have announced their support for the Kano State Government’s decision to establish an NGOs and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) Profiling Committee.
This was contain in a statement signed by Ibrahim Hassan Gama and Mustapha Muhammad Chiroma on behalf of the endorsing organizations on Wednesday.
According to the statement, the endorsement was contained in a letter addressed to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf through the Secretary to the State Government.
The NGOs, collectively represented by the Kano Patriotic Civil Organizations, praised the initiative, stating that it would help create a reliable database for all NGOs, CBOs, and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) operating within the state.
“We have seen, both locally and internationally, how certain CBOS and NGOs have been misused to advance agendas that undermine the peace and stability of not only the state but also the broader nation. A particularly telling example is the role played by certain organizations in Sudan, where their activities contributed to a prolonged crises, highlighting how unchecked NGOs operations can spiral into long-term chaos.
The manipulation of civic space by a few unscrupulous organizations has been a long-standing concern, as some have channeled resources into fueling unrest rather than fostering positive change.”
