The Kano State Governorship candidate on the platform of Allied People’s Movement, APM, Major General Ibrahim Sani Yakasai, rtd, says he will move the ancient commercial city of Kano to greater heights if elected.
General Yakasai stated this during a media briefing in Kano State North-west Nigeria.
He said areas of concentration would include Health, Education, Agriculture, and infrastructural Development among others.
“I urge you all to vote for competence, a transformer that will enhance your life and take Kano to greater heights,” he said
General Yakasai said if elected as the governor of Kano, the Health sector would be accorded much priority by enhancing it with modern equipment and ensuring the training of personnel.
He explained that “providing the needed power for industries in Kano to achieve greater height would see the light of day if given the mandate”
”We will introduce adequate measures of generating power in the state so that our industries would be revived and more job opportunities would be made available to our teeming youths.
“How the state is witnessing infrastructure decay is very very alarming, hence efforts will be put in that area to achieve the set objectives,” he said.
General Yakasai maintained that other sectors like Agriculture, Commerce and Industry, tourism and youth empowerment will be given adequate attention.
According to him, “the traditional institution in the past played a very unique role in maintaining the security of their respective domain adding that if elected, he would look into the aspect of assigning useful roles to them.”
General Yakasai further said that many rural areas in the state would not only be connected to the national grid but would make sure that youths were provided with a conducive environment to enable them to be self-reliance
“All these notable programmes, if put in place would certainly curb youths who are desperate to relocate to urban areas in search of white-collar jobs that are not even in existence,” he added.
