Abba Yusuf, the governor of Kano, met with President Bola Tinubu on Monday to present his administration’s priorities, including security, infrastructure, and a stronger partnership with the federal government.
In a statement on Tuesday, Sunisu Bature, spokesperson of
the governor, said the closed-door meeting was used to formally brief the
president on pressing challenges and opportunities in Kano, with particular
emphasis on worsening insecurity in some local government areas.
“He informed President Tinubu about the recent tragic
killing of a housewife and her children, stressing the need for decisive
federal support to strengthen security operations and protect innocent
citizens,” the statement reads.
“The governor highlighted the role of the Kano State
Neighbourhood Watch Corps in complementing security agencies and called for
deeper collaboration with federal security institutions.
“Governor Yusuf also discussed Kano’s development agenda,
with special focus on mega infrastructure projects.
“He used the opportunity to thank the President for
federal intervention on the Wujuwuju Road, describing it as critical step to
unlocking economic growth and job creation.”
Bature said the governor sought Tinubu’s support and
cooperation to fast-track federal projects and ensure Kano benefits maximally
from federal programmes and investments.
He said Tinubu assured Yusuf of the federal government’s
readiness to work with Kano state to tackle insecurity and drive sustainable
development.
