Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has called on the well-to-do individuals in the state to join hands with his administration in the execution of projects that will have a direct bearing on the lives of the people.
The governor made the appeal at a special New Year programme beamed from his office yesterday.
Governor Yusuf explained that Allah has blessed the state with a large number of wealthy individuals and industrialists whose input can greatly contribute to the betterment of the lives of people in the state, adding that there is also the need for combined efforts to better the lives of the less privileged in the state.
He disclosed that his administration has a well-articulated policy in the areas of Education Trust Fund, Security Trust Fund and Social Trust Fund and contributions from such individuals in the society can assist the government in the realisation of those initiatives.

The governor cited an example of other parts of the country where their wealthy individuals have made it a habit to execute projects and fund programmes that will better their immediate societies.
He said, “When I came to office, I was expecting such business moguls to approach us with selfless contributions that can be justifiably used in executing projects aimed at improving the lives of the citizenry but to no avail.
“I want to use this opportunity to passionately appeal to them to emulate their counterparts from other parts of the country by lending their supporting hands in making our state a better place for our teaming populace,” he said.
