“It has been a journey of reflection, of commitment, and of growing into a role much larger than self. I remain devoted to uplifting the ideals of Kano’s proud heritage while striving to be a bridge between tradition and progress.”
The Kachallan Kano was full of excitement for the completion of schools for married women which he promised to build in honour of his Late Mother – Hajiya Asma’u Ibrahim Yakasai.
“Alhamdulillah, as I am celebrating my 2nd anniversary, the school (Primary, Secondary and Adult Education for married women) I promised to build in honour of my Late Mother – Hajiya Asma’u Ibrahim Yakasai is now completed, ten (10) years after I built in honour of my late father- Alhaji (Mallam) Ibrahim Yunusa Yakasai. Allah shine abin godiya,” Yakasai said.
He prayed that the years ahead continue to bring peace, unity, and prosperity to his people.

Allah ya bamu lafiya da zaman lafiya,” Yakasai prayed.
