Governor Abba Yusuf has assured Kano residents of better times by implementing people-oriented policies and programmes in 2024.

Mr Yusuf said this on Monday in a statement by his spokesman, Bature Dawakin Tofa.

The governor urged residents to be hopeful and live in peace and harmony throughout the coming years. He said his administration was committed to making life better and more prosperous for all residents in the New Year through the implementation of capital projects.

He explained that his administration would engage in massive physical and human development projects that would directly affect the lives of the people of Kano.

The Kano governor said this would also be in tandem with the commitment to spread the dividends of democracy to the nooks and crannies of Kano.

“We will complete structures at Mahaha Sport complex to serve as a centre of entertainment, social and religious gatherings apart from sporting activities which is the primary focus of the complex,” he said.

The governor commended the Kano people for the support and cooperation accorded to his government, hoping for the sustenance of the tempo to forge ahead in taking the state to greater heights.

“I urge residents to remain hopeful of greater prosperity that will be recorded through the implementation of people-oriented policy and programmes that will improve the well-being of the people.

“My New Year message to all is not to despair but remain hopeful of greater prosperity for Kano. I want to assure the good people of Kano state that better times are ahead of us,” stated the Kano governor.
