Governor Ibrahim Kwankwaso of Kano State is among the
contenders for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) ahead of the 2015 general elections. Kwankwaso, in
this piece, unfolds his agenda for Nigeria.
By Soni Daniel, Regional Editor, North
Today I look at Nigeria and I feel sorry for the high level of insecurity
and other challenges that stare our nation on the face and I feel that
something urgent must be done to address the rot in the system.
Nigeria cannot continue to operate as an orphan in the comity of
nations having been abundantly blessed with human and material
resources to be a global leader.
I can replicated Kano’s success story for Nigeria
I believe that I can change the sad story of Nigeria to something of a
celebration if given the opportunity to lead. I have the confidence
that I can replicate the Kano magic for Nigeria. Today, Kano is proud
that I came to the scene in 2011 and change the landscape for
them.
Despair and hopelessness have been replaced with happiness on
the faces of the people of Kano. Dilapidated public institutions have
been replaced with new ones while the poor have been integrated
into the system and given a means of livelihood and taken off the
streets.
Today, as a result of my leadership in Kano, I have succeeded in
establishing three brand new cites known as Kwankwasiyya, Amana
and Bandirawo in addition to constructing three monumental
flyovers that have helped to remove the traffic snarl in the
metropolis. I have also provided 220kms of dualised and electrified
roads to all the 44 LGAs of the state translating to 5kms for each of
the councils at the cost of N80 billion.
To get the city running without power failure, I have signed and MoU
for 35 Megawatts Independent Power Project at Challawa and Tiga
dams at the cost of N14.2 billion solely from the state coffers.
Free, compulsory education
Under my administration, we have made education free and
compulsory from the primary to the university. Behind that we have
a special post graduate training programme for graduates who pass
out with First class or Second class upper grades. So for our
graduates, all you need to secure further training by the government
is to pass with at least a second class upper. For those who are
reading medicine, we engage them as workers on G/L 7 while they
are still studying.
When they graduate we send them abroad to study in specialised
areas so as to become specialists and more useful to the society.
So far, we have trained 501 youths for postgraduate studies abroad
at the cost of N1.8 billion. Another set of 100 youths has been
dispatched to Jordan for Piloting and Aeronautical Engineering
studies at the cost of N1 billion. Another 100 of our youths are
studying Medicine in various universities abroad at the cost of N1
billion. One hundred others are pursuing courses in Pharmacy
overseas at the cost of N800million while 100 females are studying
Medicine with specialisation in Gynaecology at the cost of N1 billion.
At the same time, while 25 have been sponsored to study Marine
Engineering in India and the United Kingdom, 14 others are
undergoing various courses in Technical Education at Bradford,
England. The second batch of our 502 youths sponsored by my
administration to pursue their PhD courses abroad is doing very well
in their chosen institutions across the globe. We are spending at
least N2.8 billion on them.

.

Can someone list these Kano successes?

fp tinz o,

dis is a good sign wenger will beat mourihno tomorow

Kano success story Mtchweeeeeeeeeew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This man must be high on kai kai.
What labor success?
What should lagos or ogun gov say if u termed urs success.
just stick to ur tin.

The best these religious zealots can do is replicate the following:

1. Sharia enforcement nation wide. This they will sneak into the constitution under customary law.

2. Enshrine the useless almajiri system, making a host of kids uneducable

3. If religious dichotomy still exist btw moslem and Christians in Kano, with no existing church inside the old Kano city, a replicate will happen across the country under the sharia strain

4. If GEJ an active president, received barrages of insult because he is from the
South, then non northern indegenes will have any iota of respect or recognition


Kwankwaso, park one side

Solve ur Amajiris problem

This kwankwa-whatever is sick, imagine insulting our sensibility with a statement written by his PA, he should focus on developing his state- anyway he has only few months. Then take his body back to school for proper education- his fundamentalist school in Niger rep. will do

phantonce:

I think what has been done in Kano so far is much better than Lagos and Ogun. It shouldn't be about bragging and unnecessary propaganda. I've been to Kano, Lagos, Ogun, Akwa-Ibom and Cross River. These are places where their governors have made visible efforts to do something different. Lagos should take 3rd position among the 5 states I've mentioned. Those who would argue with me are those who have never moved out of their comfort zones in Lagos. They usually think the world revolves around Lagos. Other people are working too.....

I wish GEJ could list his 'achievements' as Balyesa's state governor just like this man did before Nigerians voted for him as Presidents in 2011, rather he based his campaign solely on sentiments and majority fell for it.
Never again should we allow someone without pedigree to rule this country!

This man must be drunk.

KWANKWASO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN NIGERIA ,THAT IS WHY HE COULD NOT MENTION ANY TANGIBLE THING HE HAS DONE IN SABON GARI THE AREA OCCUPIED PREDOMINANTLY BY NON HAUSAS. HE IS USING ANY AVAILABLE MEANS TO EXTORT MONEY FROM PEOPLE THERE IN FORM OF TAX AND EQUALLY TELLING THEM TO RAISE MONEY TO CONSTRUCT ROADS IN THAT AREA. HOW I WISH APC WILL GIVE HIM THEIR TICKET SO THAT HE WILL VOMIT AND SQUANDER HIS MONEY BEFORE WE WILL REMIND HIM OF HIS ATROCITIES COME 2015.

You de mind d sick man of kano? He can only reverse the wheel of progress back to 7th century babarism of Islam.
Collecting the highest state allocation in the name of 44 LGAs while contributing zero to national coffer. Collecting VAT from breweries yet destroying trailer load of beer and christian businesses in sabon gari with no regard to mutual respect!
Proudly paying hisba with state fund as islamic police while shouting down creation of state police by south.
Kwankwa na wawa joor!

Oh yeah like building Islamic schools in Niger republic?
Ok now it will be in Benin, togo, cameroun and the atlantic.
