WELCOME TO KTNBIO

The Kano Concerned Citizens’ Initiative (KCCI) has thrown weight behind the move to scrutinize the operations of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) being funded by foreign based agencies in the state.

KCCI noted that the urgent need to verify the motive and sources of funding of NGO’s in Kano has become pertinent following the recent report by a US Congressman that alleged that USAID was funding of Boko Haram.

In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Ahmed Aminu, on Tuesday, KCCI vowed it would support the special committee instituted to purge the state of global security threats.

KCCI noted that it has been following with a keen sense of responsibility the activities of various NGOs especially those with foreign connections, after the revelation of security concerns raised against USAID.

“The recent revelation in the US Congress of the allegation of the USAID’s funding of Boko Haram raises deep concern over the activities of NGOs that have connections with foreign aid agencies.

“Our people are vulnerable and have become prey to exploitation by the activities of these NGOs, largely because of bad governance which has links to economic programs imposed by globalists.

“Our society cannot remain indifferent to all forms of exploitations and propagation of values especially on LGBTQ+ by these agents of globalists that are hostile to our faith.

“It is in this light that we welcome the move by the Kano State Government to sanitize the activities of NGOs. The high-powered committee charged to investigate and document, sources of funding, nature of activities, areas of intervention and operational methods with a view to recommending a regulatory framework that aligns with the state’s vision and development goals.

“These are long overdue as Kano State should not remain an open field for testing ideas by the globalists because the State sets the pulse of entire Northern Nigeria. We commend the State Government for this bold initiative,” the group said.

KCCI further pledged its willingness to make necessary contributions towards the success of the committee.

It called on all citizens of Kano State to give the committee the support and cooperation it deserves in the patriotic endeavor to rid the state of impending threats.
