“We will not disappoint His Excellency. We will justify the trust and confidence he has placed in us, and we will continue to support efforts that promote progress, peace and development in Kano State,” he declared.
He expressed confidence that, if confirmed by the Kano State House of Assembly and subsequently appointed, Yakasai would bring his experience, sound judgment and interpersonal skills to bear on his responsibilities and contribute positively to the administration and development of the state.
