The Chairman of Kano State Anti-Corruption and Public Complaints Commission and focal point for Open Government Partnership (OGP), Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado has said the state remains resolute in implementing anti-corruption reforms.
Rimingado, who made the disclosure in Kano on Tuesday, said the expectation is that the state will be a model for other states to follow in the implementation of anti-corruption reforms.
The OGP Chairman, stressed that the anti-corruption reforms in the state will be fully owned by the people.
According to Rimingado, “This session aimed at deepening the understanding of civil society about OGP which is crucial to our overall success.
“Knowledge based engagement will mean that the voice of civil society is not only amplified but also bold and responsive to the needs of the communities and other relevant stakeholders.
“The beauty of OGP is the unique relationship between government and civil society which it promotes. However, as you all know the whole idea of partnership-creation and co-responsibility will be sterile and ineffective unless we build the required capacity.
“Both government and civil society need to have clarity, understand and internalize all the principles of OGP to make sure that we are all on the same page from time to time.”
