KANO- The National Industrial Court of Nigeria in Kano on Monday, declined an application filed by five former members of the Kano State Executive Council seeking to restrain the state government from retrieving official vehicles allocated to them while in office.
The former commissioners’ argued that the vehicles were allocated to them as part of their conditions of service upon their appointment into the Kano State Executive Council.
They argued that, by convention and in line with the determination of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, commissioners are entitled to retain such vehicles at the end of their tenure.
Delivering a ruling, Justice Mahmood Abba-Namtari declined to grant the ex-parte reliefs and ordered that the respondents be put on notice to enable all parties to be heard before any interim order is made.
The judge adjourned the matter until March 10 for hearing.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the applicants resigned their positions as commissioners following political developments surrounding Gov. Abba Kabir-Yusuf’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).(NAN)
