The 68th birthday celebration of the former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, also coincided with a very important event that gave the leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) an opportunity to share his greatest legacy as governor.
It was during the inauguration of a state-of-the-art auditorium named in his honour at Skyline University in Kano that Kwankwaso spoke.
The former governor described the establishment of Northwest University, now renamed Maitama Sule University, and Kano University of Science and Technology Wudil, now Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, as his best and most cherished achievements during his time in office.
“My best and cherished legacy while in office as Governor of Kano State was my investment in education,” Kwankwaso declared at the event.
Other Achievements By Kwankwaso
While acknowledging other achievements in infrastructure, agriculture, and rural electrification during his tenure, Kwankwaso echoed that none compared to the impact of establishing the two universities and other educational initiatives.
His words: “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 also praised Governor Abba Yusuf.
Only few governors are known for continuing unfinished projects or remaining committed to the policies of their predecessors.
