By Aminu Garko
Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has granted automatic employment to Mrs. Hassana Nazifi Shehu Minjibir, a visually impaired graduate of B.A. (Ed) Special Education from Bayero University, Kano.
Minjibir’s determination and resilience in pursuing a career for self-reliance caught the governor’s attention during a women’s empowerment programme.
Governor Yusuf praised Minjibir’s perseverance and commitment to achieving her goals despite her physical challenges.
As a mark of his compassion and recognition of her tenacity, the governor offered her immediate employment and promised to appoint her to the board of the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Commission, which will soon be established in the state.
The governor directed the Kano State Head of Service to expedite Minjibir’s employment process into the state civil service without delay.
This gesture demonstrates Governor Yusuf’s commitment to promoting inclusivity and empowering individuals with special needs to achieve their potentials.
It’s worth noting that Governor Yusuf has also introduced automated employment for graduates of the state’s foreign scholarship program in engineering, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and other health-related fields .
This initiative aims to build a skilled workforce and address critical sector shortages in Kano State.
