It is widely recognised across Kano State that the 44 LGA day technical schools have been left abandoned, with construction incomplete. These schools were established in 2012 during the second tenure of former governor, Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso.
The initial progress on these schools was swift under Kwankwaso’s administration. However, the subsequent government, led by former governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, halted the continuation of the project.
The abandonment of these schools has unfortunately created opportunities for theft and vandalism, with some individuals stealing materials from the school premises. The neglected sites have also become hubs for illicit activities, further affecting the surrounding communities.
It is crucial to bring this matter to the attention of Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf, the current governor of Kano State. I would like to commend you, sir, for your commitment to advancing education in both urban and rural areas, particularly through the construction of classroom blocks, the reduction of registration fees for higher education institutions, and the provision of postgraduate scholarships. These initiatives have garnered praise from Kano residents and visitors alike.

During your 2019 and 2023 gubernatorial campaigns, you pledged to resume work on the 44 LGA day technical schools. In the light of this, I respectfully appeal to your administration to take swift action to complete these schools. By doing so, you will transform these temporary sites into permanent institutions, ensuring they fulfill their original purpose and preventing further loss of valuable materials.
