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\u2019s vision and development goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese 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,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n<p>KCCI further pledged its willingness to make necessary contributions towards the success of the committee.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
