West Africa Education Index: Governor Abba K. Yusuf’s Reforms Propel Kano to 1st Place
Kano State has emerged as the top-performing subnational unit in West Africa on the Sub-National Education Spending Index (S-WAESI), scoring 87.21 and outperforming 209 regional governments across 15 ECOWAS countries. As detailed in image.png, Kano led major regional hubs like Dakar (80.52), while Lagos State ranked 16th overall (77.25).
This top ranking directly reflects the strategic financial commitments made under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf:
- Sustained Budgetary Allocation: The administration allocated 29.9% of the 2024 budget and 31% of the 2025 budget to education, consistently exceeding the UNESCO international benchmark of 15% to 20%.
- Educational Infrastructure: To improve access and capacity, the administration recently signed a ₦23.1 billion educational infrastructure investment contract to construct 49 secondary schools across 44 local government areas.
- Measurable Academic Outcomes: High index marks in resource execution correlate directly with rising state performance.
Driven by these structural investments, Kano State emerged as the best-performing state in Nigeria in the 2025 NECO Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), leading the nation with 68,159 candidates securing five credits or more, including English and Mathematics.

Governor Yusuf Flags Off Distribution of 150 Truckloads of Subsidised Fertilizer to Farmers Across Kano
Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has flagged off the distribution of about 150 truckloads of subsidised fertilizer to farmers across the 44 local government areas as part of his administration’s efforts to boost agricultural production and guarantee food security.
This was contained in a statement issued by the governor’s spokesman Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa on Thursday.
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony, Governor Yusuf said the distribution of the fertilizer demonstrates his administration’s unwavering commitment to supporting farmers and strengthening the agricultural sector.
He noted that the intervention is designed to ease the burden of rising farming costs, increase crop yields and improve the livelihoods of farmers across the state.
The Governor charged local government chairmen to ensure that the fertilizer is distributed strictly to genuine farmers in a transparent and equitable manner.
He warned that his administration would not tolerate diversion, hoarding or any act capable of denying deserving farmers access to the subsidised fertilizer.
Governor Yusuf reiterated that his administration would continue to invest in agriculture through programmes and policies that promote food sufficiency, create employment opportunities and stimulate economic growth in Kano State.
