The Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf has ordered reopening of the 26 Entrepreneurship Institutes established by his boss, Sen. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso during his second stint as governor between 2011 and 2015 in the state.
In his inauguration speech at Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano on Monday, Yusuf noted that the institutes were established with the mandate of equipping our youth and women with soft and hard skills in different fields of endeavour.
He lamented that the institutes were rendered useless and closed down by the immediate past administration of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
He also disclosed that enrollment into the institutions would begin as soon as the necessary provisions are made.
“I also direct that all the 26 Entrepreneurship Institutes that were established by the Sen. Kwankwaso Administration with the mandate of equipping our youth and women with soft and hard skills in different fields of endeavour, and which were closed down and abandoned by the previous administration, are hereby reopened.
“Enrollment into these institutions will begin as soon as the necessary provisions are made,” the governor said.
