Good governance lies at the core of all the State’s achievements. The Kano State Government, under the leadership of His Excellency, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, has strengthened accountability, transparency, and citizens’ participation in policymaking. The establishment of the Strategic Governance and Policy Coordination Directorate (SGPCD) exemplifies this vision by ensuring effective coordination, monitoring, and evaluation of government policies and programmes. Through data-driven decision-making, open communication channels, and engagement with civil society, the administration has fostered a culture of trust and responsiveness. Governance in Kano is now more inclusive, transparent, and results-oriented — setting a new standard for people-centred leadership.
