A New Chapter Begins: Celebrating the Appointment of Aminu Gidado Yusha’u as Kano ACReSAL Project Coordinator

In what many have described as a timely and well-deserved elevation, the appointment of Malam Aminu Gidado Yusha’u as the new Project Coordinator for the Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) project in Kano State has sparked joy and renewed optimism among staff, stakeholders, and colleagues alike.

As a Corps Member currently serving under this groundbreaking World Bank-supported initiative, I write on behalf of my fellow team members, young professionals, field officers, and support staff whose daily interactions with Malam Aminu have given us firsthand insight into his leadership style, work ethic, and genuine commitment to sustainable development.

Before his appointment, Malam Aminu served as the Monitoring and Evaluation Officer for the project, a role in which he distinguished himself through his discipline, precision, and results-driven approach. His ability to listen, coordinate, and motivate has endeared him to both senior colleagues and field-level teams.

The ACReSAL project, a collaborative effort involving the World Bank, the Federal Government, and 19 northern states including the FCT, aims to address pressing climate challenges, particularly in semi-arid regions. The role of a Project Coordinator in this context goes beyond office administration but requires vision, integrity, patience, and technical know-how. In Malam Aminu, we are confident these qualities converge.

For many of us, especially youth corps members, his rise is not only inspirational but a reminder that merit and hard work still speak volumes. We have watched him closely always early, always thoughtful, and consistently calm in navigating complex project dynamics.

We are grateful to His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, for endorsing this forward-looking appointment, and to Dr. Dahir M. Hashim, the immediate past coordinator and now Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Climate Change, for his guidance and mentorship that paved the way for a smooth transition.

As Malam Aminu Gidado Yusha’u assumes this new mantle, we offer our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes. May this role be a launchpad for even greater contributions to climate resilience and community development in Kano State and beyond.

On behalf of all corps members and colleagues at ACReSAL Kano, we pledge our support and look forward to a productive and impactful journey ahead.
