Governing boards and councils oversee parastatals, agencies and institutions in Kaduna State, with members typically drawn from political appointees, technocrats and stakeholders tasked with ensuring these bodies function in line with their founding laws and government policy. Such boards often wield significant oversight over budgets, appointments and operational decisions, making adherence to their enabling statutes central to accountability and good governance at the state level.
The Secretary to the State Government's advice, as reported, centres on urging board members to familiarise themselves with the specific laws establishing their respective institutions and to operate strictly within those legal boundaries. Both Leadership and Daily Trust carry near-identical accounts of the SSG's counsel, with neither report yet detailing the specific forum or event at which the remarks were made, nor naming particular boards or infractions that may have prompted the advisory.
