The presidential candidate said he was always interested in mass-oriented programmes and projects that impact on the lives of the people, especially in the field of education.

According to him, more than 3,000 indigent students have benefited from his scholarships between 2011 and 2015 when he was the governor of Kano State, while many others have continued to benefit since 2015.

The president, Kwankwasiyya Scholars and Kwankwasiyya Development, Dr Yusuf Ibrahim Kofarmata, said the NNPP presidential candidate’s altruistic efforts to improve the lives of the downtrodden are making incomparable contributions that would immortalise him.
