Yusuf reiterated his administration’s commitment to advancing education, emphasizing the importance of nurturing young talents to achieve a prosperous Kano State. “This visit has allowed me to engage directly with the students, address their challenges, and gather insights from the first batch of over 400 students sponsored under the 100:1 Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme,” he said.

The visit also enabled an on-the-spot assessment to improve preparations for future beneficiaries of both foreign and domestic scholarships. The governor reaffirmed his commitment to completing the 100:1 initiative before the end of his first tenure.
