Former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has stated that his greatest legacy as governor was his investment in educational upliftment of the State.
Kwankwaso noted that the establishment of Northwest University, now known as Maitama Sule University, and Kano University of Science and Technology Wudil, now Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, are his “best and most cherished achievements as Governor of Kano State.”
The now national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, stated this on Monday in Kano.
Speaking during the inauguration of an ultramodern auditorium named after him by Skyline University, Kwankwaso said, “My best and cherished legacy while in office as Governor of Kano State was my investment in education.”
The inauguration of the auditorium was part of the activities to commemorate Kwankwaso’s 68th birthday celebration.
The NNPP national leader and the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 general election, turned 68 years old on Monday.
Reeling out his achievements, he said, “My projects, including flyovers, roads, agricultural development, and rural electrification, among others, are not my best compared to the establishment of the two universities and other educational projects.”
Kwankwaso commended the State Governor, Abba Yusuf, for his steadfastness in adhering to the Kwankasiyya ideology. Which, according to him, emphasizes education and human development.
In his remarks at the occasion, Governor Yusuf expressed appreciation to the university for its collaboration in educational development in the State. He thanked them for the plan to train 1,000 teachers in computer skills in collaboration with the State Government.
The Vice Chancellor of the university also expressed the institution’s readiness to continue collaborating with the State Government.
