Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, as he marks his 63rd birthday on January 5, 2026.
In a statement on Sunday by his
Special Adviser on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President Governor Yusuf’s integrity, modesty, humility and commitment to public service, exemplified in his administration of Kano State.
According to the statement, President Tinubu affirmed that Governor Yusuf’s regime in Kano, the bastion of progressive politics in the North, re-echoes the commitment to grassroots development and ameliorating the plight of the Talakawas as championed by the late Mallam Aminu Kano in the state.
“Governor Yusuf’s leadership experience, particularly his years as commissioner, managing strategic portfolios in Kano State, may have prepared him for the kind of infrastructural changes now witnessed in the state.
“He has embarked on urban renewal programmes, building bridges and road networks, including the five-kilometre roads in each local government in the state.
“I also understood that his declaration of emergency in education has engendered a marked improvement in the performance of Kano students in NECO exams,” President Tinubu said.
He wishes the Kano Governor a long life and more years of his transformative leadership in the state.
