The governor, who was obviously elated for support he enjoyed from the people, also promised to boost agriculture in the state, with major concern on raising the stakes of small scale farmers.
Ganduje reiterated his administration’s policy of zero tolerance to corruption, adding his second term will ensure re-invigoration of the state anti-corruption agency for better performance.
He also promised to run an all-inclusive government irrespective of party affiliation, pointing out that the era of politicking is over, just as he urged everybody to join hands to build a better Kano.
