The National Forum of Kano Indigenous Lawyers has canvassed for more leadership decorations for Governor Abba Yusuf in recognition of his leadership style and commitment to a transformative state.
The group’s chairman, Usman Tudun-Wizirchi Esq, in a statement made available to journalists in Kano yesterday, noted that Governor Yusuf stands out in terms of resilience and quality governance, hence his recognition and honour by various media platforms for his impact on the socio-economic well-being of the state and its citizens.
“It was a week of glamour for Governor Yusuf, whose unwavering dedication to human and social economic development in Kano State was noticed and rewarded by an array of meritorious awards.
“From LEADERSHIP Newspapers, Abuja; Vanguard newspapers, Lagos and African Heritage Concept, Marrakech in Morocco, Governor Yusuf received distinguished accolades and applause for redefining governance in Kano.
“No doubt, the LEADERSHIP award was a validation of Governor Yusuf’s bold reforms in education and repositioning of the sector after years of neglect by the immediate past administration.
“The celebration of the people’s governor returned to Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, where Yusuf earned another encomium as Governor of the year 2024, Good Governance” category on the stable of Vanguard Newspapers.
“24 hours later, the outpouring of admiration moved to the city of Marrakesh, Morocco, where African Heritage Concept Magazine bestowed Governor Yusuf with another honour, where distinguished African leaders and policy influencers were celebrated and honoured with the African Good Governance Award 2025.”
The group also posited that Governor Yusuf deserves more recognition for demonstrating exceptional disposition during the tense situations around Sallah festivities in Kano.
According to the group, “when the plot to take advantage of the recent Sallah Durbar tussle to unleash provocation and subsequently declare a state of emergency was launched, Governor Yusuf was never saturated with overwhelming endurance and resilience, which eventually triumphed over the evil plot.
“Governor Yusuf deserves another gold medal for exhibiting a high level of wisdom and emotional resilience, which enabled him to overcome the tribulations,” the chairman stated.
