The Kano State Internal Revenue Service (KIRS) has announced the removal of eight directors from their positions, ordering them to hand over all duties and responsibilities to their deputies.

KIRS Chairman, Sani Abdulkadir Dambo, communicated their removal in a circular.

“As part of the ongoing efforts towards achieving the desired objectives of the present government, I am directed to inform you that the undermentioned directors have been relieved of their responsibilities and are to hand over to their deputies immediately,” the circular read.
