Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has declared that his administration has fulfilled 85 per cent of the promises made to residents since assuming office two years ago, leaving just 15 per cent to be completed in the remaining half of his tenure, Daily Trust reports.
The governor made this known on Thursday during the swearing-in ceremony of his new Chief of Staff, Dr. Sulaiman Wali Sani; Director General of the Special Services Directorate, Major General Sani Muhammad (rtd); and 11 Special Advisers.
“I’m happy that when I reviewed our polling point last week, all the promises we made to the people have been executed 85%. So we have just 15% left to deliver in the next two years,” Governor Yusuf said, citing an internal evaluation presented to the State Executive Council.

He added that new initiatives would soon be introduced to further improve the lives of Kano citizens.
“We are bringing in new programmes and practices that will, by the grace of Allah, continue to positively impact the people of the state. And we cannot do it alone, we must work together,” he stated.
The governor also urged the newly appointed officials to uphold transparency and accountability.
“If there’s a problem, don’t just investigate blindly, speak up directly. That is why you are here,” he said. “Be especially prudent with the limited resources entrusted to you. Ensure justice and discipline in their utilisation.”
He concluded on a personal note, saying: “This is my little advice to you. God willing, you will give it your best. There’s no one among you I don’t already know.”
