Gov Abba Kabir-Yusuf’s council greenlit a massive N38.6 billion Friday to turbocharge Kano’s growth—slashing N1.6B to clear boarding school supplier debts, N370M for Mariri Secondary rehab, N375M for 50K student crate bags, and N1.3B to relocate/rebuild Maikwatashi/Danwaire primaries amid education lifeline push.
Road warriors snag N16.2B Gwarzo-Tsaure-Tsanyawa re-award, N4.4B Karaye dual carriage, N2.2B Murtala-Bompai overlay, plus N483M Panda-Albasu upgrades and N1.4B Dangora-Masama feeder—while security gets 300 bikes for N483.7M Neighbourhood Watch (now permanent staff), water schemes hit N398M underserved zones, and N577M settles energy debts.
Bonus nods: N916M Kwankwasiyya conference hall, mosque builds/renos, mining company boards, uni allowances, anti-begging drives—even a security guard’s N30K salary donation to the cause—proving Kano’s all-in bet on infra, welfare and safety for shared wins.
