Kano State Inaugurates Open Government Partnership Steering Committee




In a significant move to strengthen transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance, the Kano State Government on April 1, 2026, officially inaugurated the Open Government Partnership (OGP) Steering Committee.

The inauguration ceremony took place at the Ministry for Public Procurement, Project Monitoring and Evaluation (MPPPME), Kano, and was attended by representatives from government institutions, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and media stakeholders reflecting the multi-sectoral nature of the OGP initiative.

In his welcome address, the Permanent Secretary of MPPPME, Engr. Garba Adamu, expressed deep appreciation to His Excellency, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, Executive Governor of Kano State, for his steadfast support toward the successful establishment of the committee.

He emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating that the OGP platform would serve as a bridge between government and civil society reformers, fostering collaboration aimed at promoting integrity, transparency, and accountability in governance.
