The North West Solidarity Forum (NWSF), has lauded His Excellency, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, for organising the most successful Hajj exercise in the state’s history, setting a new benchmark in pilgrim welfare and inclusive spiritual leadership.
Pilgrims and Observers have confirmed that Governor Yusuf ensured seamless logistics for Kano’s record-breaking contingent of pilgrims, the largest nationwide, which is unprecedented.
In a statement, the Executive Director of NWSF, Comrade Abubakar Sani, said that Kano pilgrims had enjoyed dignified accommodation, nutritious meals, and comprehensive support throughout their spiritual journey in the Holy Land.
The Forum particularly applauds the Governor’s magnanimity in sponsoring numerous less-privileged citizens to perform Hajj, affirming his commitment to inclusive religious opportunity.
“The 2025 Hajj exercise under Governor Yusuf’s leadership has rewritten Kano’s history. His hands-on approach guaranteed every pilgrim dignity and comfort, while his generosity uplifted the vulnerable. This is servant-leadership in action.”
The NWSF further praised the Governor’s transformative development agenda across Kano State as massive investments in infrastructure, education, and healthcare have visibly elevated living standards and fueled public optimism.
He added, “This grassroots impact has been demonstrated in the heroic reception Governor Yusuf received upon returning from Saudi Arabia, a spontaneous outpouring of public affection rooted in his deep connection with the people.
“Thousands thronged the streets to welcome Governor Yusuf home – a testament to the trust he has earned through tangible governance. From the groundbreaking ‘Giant of Development’ projects to his Hajj triumph, he consistently prioritizes the people’s welfare.”
The Forum urged Governor Yusuf to sustain this exceptional standard of excellence as manifested in all facets of Kano’s development. “We challenge His Excellency to keep raising the bar. Kano’s progress under his stewardship inspires the entire North West region,” Sani emphasized.
The NWSF advocates that other governors in the subregion should emulate the execution of equitable development, good governance, and social justice from Kano as they strive to move their states to a higher pedestal of development.
