He used the opportunity to thank the President for federal intervention on Wujuwuju Road, describing it as a crucial step toward boosting economic growth and creating jobs,” the statement read.

The governor further appealed for federal support to accelerate ongoing projects in Kano, noting that timely completion would enhance the state’s investment potential and create employment opportunities.

Yusuf also urged the Federal Government to ensure that Kano fully benefits from national programmes and investments, stressing that closer collaboration would help bridge longstanding development gaps in the state. He emphasized that coordinated efforts between state and federal authorities are essential to tackle security challenges while delivering sustainable development to residents.

President Tinubu, according to the statement, assured the governor of the Federal Government’s commitment to working closely with Kano State.
