Kano State Deputy Governor, Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo, on Thursday received a delegation of youths and social media influencers of old APC members drawn from the state’s 44 local government areas.
The group visited his office to express gratitude to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for allocating land to them, describing the gesture as youth-friendly and inclusive.
Speaking while receiving the delegation in his office today, Deputy Governor Garo expressed delight over the development, noting that the allocation of land to youths was a positive and encouraging initiative.
“The exercise was conducted in strict adherence to established procedures, and for those yet to benefit, they should exercise patience and be rest assured as they would be included in subsequent allocations”
“Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s administration remains committed to ensuring that all eligible beneficiaries are accommodated” He explained.
The Deputy Governor also cautioned beneficiaries against selling the allocated land without genuine justification, advising them to make proper use of the opportunity for its intended purpose.
He further assured the delegation that he would convey their appreciation to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, whom he said deserved commendation for the initiative and his commitment to youth development in the state.
Speaking earlier, leader of the delegation, Comrade Salman Rabiu Gwarzo, speaking on behalf of the youths, said the visit was to express gratitude to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, through the Deputy Governor, Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo, for the land allocation.
Gwarzo said youths from the old APC had contributed significantly to the progress and success of the party across the 44 local government areas of Kano State.
He recalled that Governor Yusuf had continued to recognise and accommodate members of the old APC, beginning with councillors and extending the gesture to youths who, he said, played important roles in strengthening the party at the grassroots.
He also appreciated Deputy Governor Garo for facilitating the land allocation, noting that a significant portion of the land was allocated to beneficiaries in the Dawanau and Panisau areas.
