Aminu Gidado Yusha’u Appointed Kano ACReSAL Project Coordinator
Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has approved the appointment of Aminu Gidado Yusha’u as the substantive Project Coordinator for the Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) initiative in the state.
ACReSAL is a collaborative project between the World Bank, the Federal Government of Nigeria, and the 19 northern states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). It is designed to address environmental degradation and promote climate resilience across semi-arid regions of the country.
Yusha’u’s appointment follows the elevation of the former Project Coordinator, Dr. Dahir M. Hashim, who was appointed earlier this year as a commissioner and member of the Kano State Executive Council.

“Your appointment comes as no surprise, considering your dedication and consistent hard work. I am confident in your capacity to drive progress, align with His Excellency’s vision, and ensure the project achieves its objectives,” the statement read.
Dr. Hashim wished him success in the new role and expressed optimism about the project’s future under his leadership.
Until his appointment, Aminu Gidado Yusha’u served as the Monitoring and Evaluation Officer for the Kano ACReSAL Project.
