The governor’s comment came a hours after he vowed to publish the names of individuals who allegedly received illegal land allocations from the former governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, at the Kano Polytechnic.
According to Yusuf, 70 percent of the lands allocated at the polytechnic were reportedly allotted to Ganduje’s wife, Hafsat Ganduje, and their children.
Expressing further his concerns regarding the misuse of public property, he stated, “The place belongs to the masses. It is supposed that a hostel is built there, create lecture theatres, and sports complex for the benefit of students, rather they converted.”
He further emphasized his commitment to restoring the lost glory of the tertiary institution and declared his intention to disclose the names of other beneficiaries who had allegedly misused lands designated for educational purposes.
