from the people who have been visiting
Kano, that you have paid great

great attention to education and I said
this to you .

education , sending Kano citizens who
can excel to different universities in

the state and also sending them to
universities abroad. I say this to you 10
to 15 years from now , when all this
measures you have taken have matured
and yielding fruits, I will not be surprise
to find Kano men and women in all
corners of Nigeria ,” he added.
