23RD KANO STATE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING 2ND DECEMBER, 2015 (20TH SAFAR, 1437AH)

PREPARED BY THE COUNCIL AFFAIRS DIRECTORATE,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE, KANO.

It is indubitably clear that the task of nation-building is a herculean one as this requires visionary and selfless leadership at all levels of government to marshal the available human and natural resources to optimum use for wealth creation. Naturally, the human capital is the greatest asset to any society if well developed like what obtains in most advanced countries that have no abundant natural resources. The leaders of these countries consciously and consistently give premium to the development of their respective human resources for the overall development of their societies in all fields of human endeavours.

In Kano State, His Excellency, the Executive Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, OFR, has fully understood this indisputable fact and since the inception of his administration, conscious efforts are being made to harness the abundant human and natural resources the State is endowed with for the well-being of the people through the execution of meaningful projects, formulation of policies and initiation of people-centred programmes to empower the public educationally, financially and materially to become productive and self-reliant.
