Recall that In 2011, when Sen. RM Kwankwaso returned as the Governor of Kano, he met a rise of drug abuse, thuggery and joblessness. The Youths were only used as Political Thugs by Politicians and many were mingling as Political beggers at government offices.

Kwankwaso formed a task force committee that fought illicit drug dealers and drug abusers in Kano.

He established an institution of reformation and that of Security Guard, all with the aim of curtailing drug abuse, thuggery and joblessness of the uneducated youths in Kano.

The institute of reformatory was established in order to rehabilitate and build the capacities of drug addicts, so that they may become responsible and productive citizens, thereby reducing the rates of crimes in Kano which were mostly as result of drug abuse.

In the institute, the inmates were trained on how to produce shoes, garment, tailoring and many other things, which upon graduation the government of Kwankwaso empowered many sets with Capital to start-up their bussiness.

while in the institute of Security Guard the jobless youths were trained and employed as security guards of government and private agencies while others as KAROTA staff.

He gave them jobs, He took them off from the streets and offices of Politicians. They were no more liabilities to the society. They became self-defendant and real people.

Undoubtedly, that has put smiles on the faces of parents, spouses, relatives and children of the victims. Having, converted them from socio-security time bombs to productive populace.

Through that initiatives, the state witnessed a socio-economic boom and security. Hence, people goes about their daily tasks with peace of minds and tranquility without the fears of intimidation by Jobless Youths.

With the recent rise in thuggery and drug abuse, Kwankwaso as private citizen decided to establish the first Reformatory Institute in Kano, all in effort to curtail the aforementioned menaces.

In a statement by Kwankwasiyya media aide Ibrahim Adam said the event which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, the 21st of October 2021 would be attended by leaders of the Kwankwasiyya movement and other progressive minded individuals.

As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.

The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.

He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.

On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
