Kano donates N10m to EFCC, ICPC, AFN
Daily Trust reports that Kano state government donated N10m to the organisers of the National Anti-Corruption Marathon.
Announcing the donation when he received members of the main organizing committee in Abuja, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje promised that the Kano state Public Complaints and Anti Corruption Commission would collaborate with the organizers, as an official partner, to ensure success of the event.
