The Caretaker Committee Chairman of Kumbotso Local Government, Dr. Kabiru Hussaini Zawachiki, has congratulated and saluted Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf on his one-year anniversary in office as the elected Governor of Kano State.
Dr. Zawachiki praised the Governor for his numerous achievements, describing him as a man of his word who always places service above self and stands firmly for the overall development of the state.
Speaking to journalists, Dr. Zawachiki highlighted the Governor’s accomplishments in various sectors, including health, education, agriculture, youth empowerment, and many more.
He noted that the people of Kano State are witnesses to the rapid development taking place across the state under Governor Abba’s leadership, and that the Governor has demonstrated that politics can be decent, integrity-filled, and compassionate while still delivering services to the people.
Dr. Zawachiki mentioned some of the achievements, including the immediate construction of the Faculty of Engineering Building in the Yusuf Maitama Sule University, which he described as an astute and yet indication of the Governor’s determination to position Kano State as a knowledge-driven hub for technological innovation and industrialization.
He also praised the Governor’s decision to provide financial support for 7,000 Kano State students studying at Bayero University, Kano, and his decision to resume sponsorship of First-Class students to pursue Post-graduate Degrees in foreign universities, which he said lent proof to the Governor’s grasp of the need for human capacity development to service Kano State as a modern economy.
Furthermore, Dr. Zawachiki highlighted the reduction of school fees across all state-owned tertiary institutions by as much as 50% as a strategic move to empower families and young people across the state to join the modern and formal economy, without which Kano State cannot emerge as a 21st Century force.
