The Kano State Government has assured the Khairul Umma Development Initiative of due consideration for its request for support towards statewide community engagement.
Deputy Governor Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo gave the assurance on Tuesday when he received the leadership of the initiative at his office on behalf of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
The visit was aimed at introducing the group, presenting its activities and seeking government support for its planned programmes.
“The state government will give due consideration to your request for assistance,” Garo told the delegation.
He also promised to convey the initiative’s appeal for sustained engagement beyond the elections to the Governor.
“I will ensure that your request for continued outreach after the elections is brought to the attention of His Excellency, the Governor,” the Deputy Governor added.
During the meeting, the initiative discussed its grassroots mobilisation, which began in Kano South and is expected to extend to Kano North and Kano Central.
It also highlighted its focus on youth guidance and counselling, as well as its plan for sustained outreach across the 484 wards in the 44 local government areas of the state.
The delegation further presented its proposed collaboration with political aspirants across Kano.
