Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State has sought the support of President Bola Tinubu in tackling the formidable security challenges in some local government areas in the state.
Yusuf made the request when he met the President at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where he asked for assistance on security, infrastructure, and stronger partnership with the Federal Government.
The governor’s spokesperson Sanusi Bature who stated this in Kano on Tuesday, said the meeting, held in closed session, was used to brief the president on pressing challenges and opportunities in Kano, particularly the worsening insecurity in some local government areas.
Yusuf informed Tinubu about the recent tragic killing of a housewife and her children, stressing the need for decisive federal support to strengthen security operations and protect innocent citizens.
He highlighted the role of the Kano State Neighbourhood Watch Corps in complementing security agencies and called for deeper collaboration with federal security institutions.
The governor also discussed Kano’s development agenda, focusing on mega infrastructure projects.
Yusuf lauded the president for federal intervention on the Wujuwuju doad, describing it as a critical step to unlocking economic growth and job creation.
Tinubu assured Yusuf of the Federal Government’s readiness to work with Kano State to tackle insecurity and drive sustainable development.
