“Implementation of this working document when I become the governor come 2023, Insha Allah, will be hinged on transperancy and accountability for the benefit of Kano people as was the case during His Excellency Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s regime,” said Abba.

Reeling out sectoral analysis of the document, Abba highlighted education as being topmost in the plan, as it is the engine behind all human developments.

He stressed that both private and public schools will be improved, especially in the areas of recruitment of qualified teachers, establishment of E-learning, and scholarships for tertiary students.

According to him, he would also focus on girl child education initiatives, free O-level examinations, integration of Qur’anic and Tsangaya education, among others.

“Foriegn and domestic scholarships to our students will be improved,” he added.

Speaking about state’s the health sector, Abba said Kano, being the most populous state in Nigeria, needs further improvement in healthcare services: recruitment of more skilled human resources; deployment of mobile clinics, especially in the rural areas and ambulance services for emergency evacuations; free maternal and child health programme, health equipment and maintenance.

“We shall equally employ all the over 200 medical doctors sponsored abroad by the Kwankwaso regime,” he emphasized.

On Agriculture, he said plans have also been concluded for Kano, as an industrial and agro-based economy, to witness tremendous growth through strategic value chain addition of international standards for local consumption and exports.

“Agricultural financing, adoption of the national agricultural policy, agricultural value chain development, re-establishment of modern abattoir and others,” he said.

Other sectors of focus, according to him, includes, infrastructural development, road rehabilitation, strengthening security, water projects, improving power supply, climate change and environmental control, Tax control, empowerment, sports, and entertainment.

On revenue, he said the Kano Internal Revenue Service (KIRS) will be overhauled to restore financial discipline and mitigate hiding and diversion of revenue through engagement of tax and revenue collection consultants.

“I will also introduce Treasury Single Account (TSA) for all payment of revenue and tax collection in the state.

“… complete the abandoned Independent Hydro Power Project at Tiga and Challawa to improve power supply for domestic and industrial uses,” said the NNPP’s governorship candidate.

The NNPP’s gubernatorial aspirant, Abba Kabiru Yusuf, described his running mate, Comrade Abdulsalam, as a tested and trusted partner in the quest for the development of Kano.

Comrade Abdulsalam on his part promised to remain loyal and committed to transparency and accountability when voted to power alongside the governorship candidate in the 2023 election.

“I urge members to resist any attempt to shortchange their mandate in 2023 elections,” said Abdulsalam.

The blueprint is in synergy with the national blueprint presented by Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the NNPP in the 2023 election.
