Mr Yusuf underscored the significance of upholding the virtues of compassion, generosity, discipline, patriotism, and harmonious coexistence.

“As Ramadan draws to a close and the Shawwal Crescent is sighted, the principles of compassion, generosity, discipline, patriotism, and peaceful coexistence it instilled should be embraced by all,” he said.

He urged residents of Kano state to pray for divine guidance for leadership across all echelons.

Mr Yusuf pledged that his administration would initiate policy frameworks for peaceful cohabitation and unity.
