CELEBRATING KANO STATE'S MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS UNDER GOVERNOR AKY

A MASTERCLASS IN GOVERNANCE: CELEBRATING KANO STATE'S MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS UNDER GOVERNOR AKY - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji 

In a groundbreaking display of unparalleled governance, Kano state Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has managed to capture the hearts and minds of the people with his remarkable achievements over the past 10 months. An applause is indeed in order for these truly transformative endeavors that have left the state speechless.

Among the notable highlights of Governor Yusuf's tenure is the grand investment of N800 million for mass weddings. Because what better way to address the plethora of existing issues plaguing the state, such as education and water shortages, than by splurging on wedding ceremonies? The people of Kano will surely drink to that!

And let us not forget the astronomical sum of N6 billion approved for Ramadan feeding. Because when the people are hungry, forget about sustainable long-term solutions or investments in industries to boost job creation – the immediate priority is providing iftar for the masses. Bravo, Governor Yusuf!

To further solidify his legacy of grandiosity, the governor generously approved N40.3 billion for various infrastructural projects, including roads and flyovers. Who needs access to clean water when we have magnificent bridges and smooth highways? The people will certainly relish the sight of their sparkling flyovers as they indulge in another day without adequate sanitation facilities.

Speaking of flyovers, an astounding amount of N500 million was spent on painting these architectural gems. Because when basic amenities such as adequate healthcare and accessible education are lacking, the citizens can find solace in the vibrancy of their freshly painted flyovers. What a time to be alive in Kano!

Of course, no extraordinary governance would be complete without a little something for the leaders themselves. With a staggering N5.32 billion allocated for government house renovations, it is evident that the comfort and opulence of the ruling class must be prioritized above all else. Who needs functioning schools and hospitals when we have lavish government palaces?

But let's not forget about the future! To ensure the growth and prosperity of Kano, Governor Yusuf has allotted a generous N3.6 billion for postgraduate scholarships abroad. Clearly, investing in the education and development of local talent pales in comparison to the bragging rights that come with hosting scholars from foreign lands.

While these achievements may be cause for celebration, it is important to address the minor inconveniences that persist in Kano. With approximately 95% of the population struggling with water shortages and woefully inadequate access to clean water, one might question the efficacy of these grand gestures. But let us not dwell on such trivial matters!

Meanwhile, other states have taken great strides towards progress, with Lagos commissioning light rail projects and Abia state proudly unveiling gas-fired turbines for electricity generation. But why should Kano be bothered with such trivialities when there are more pressing matters to attend to, like squabbles between religious figures and ensuring the Hisba commission has top-notch transportation?

It is clear that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has not only exceeded expectations but has also redefined the very concept of governance. With over 1 trillion Naira spent by Northern Nigerian governors for seemingly "nothing," it is safe to say that Arewa is truly leading the way into a brighter future.

So, let us raise our glasses to Governor Yusuf and his awe-inspiring accomplishments, for surely the people of Kano have never been more fulfilled. Cheers to progress!
