<p>Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem<br />
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh</p>
<p>On this blessed 3rd day of Eid Al-Adha, I extend heartfelt greetings and prayers to His Excellency Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, Executive Governor of Kano State, and to the people of Kano whose faith, endurance, and sense of community continue to inspire all of us who serve in public health.</p>
<p>Eid Al-Adha calls us back to the essence of sacrifice. It reminds us that true devotion is shown not only in worship, but in how we stand for one another in times of ease and in times of trial. In public health, that lesson is lived daily. Every early report from a village health worker, every sample tested in our laboratory, every rapid response launched in a remote ward; these are acts of sacrifice made to protect the lives of strangers.</p><div class="9Xp8pTtu" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>It is in this spirit that I speak today.</p>
<p>Your Excellency, Kano is fortunate to have a leader who understands that health security is not a luxury but a foundation for progress. Your administration’s commitment to strengthening disease prevention, surveillance, and emergency response has given KNCDC both the mandate and the means to act swiftly and decisively.</p>

<p>Because of your support, we are building systems that detect threats earlier, respond faster, and communicate more clearly with communities. You have shown that when government treats health security as a priority, the people feel it directly in their homes, markets, and schools.</p>

</div>

<p>On behalf of the entire KNCDC team; surveillance officers, epidemiologists, laboratory scientists, field officers, and support staff, I thank you for your leadership. Your readiness to back science with resources and policy has placed Kano in a stronger position to face current and emerging health threats. We do not take this trust lightly.</p>
<p>To the Good People of Kano State</p>
<p>KNCDC exists to serve you. Our mandate is clear: to prevent, detect, and respond to epidemic-prone diseases across all 44 local government areas. But we cannot achieve this alone.</p>
<p>Under the strategic guidance of the Hon. Commissioner for Health, Dr. Abubakar Labaran Yusuf, we are working to ensure that every community in Kano has access to early warning, accurate information, and rapid assistance when needed. Our surveillance networks are active, our laboratories are functioning, and our rapid response teams remain on alert.</p>
<p>Yet our greatest asset remains you, the people. The early report from a mother in a rural clinic, the cooperation of a community leader during an outbreak investigation, the willingness of citizens to share accurate information: these are the actions that turn preparedness into protection.</p>
<p>As we continue our Eid celebrations, I urge every Kano resident to continue being part of this collective defense. Report unusual illness early. Listen to and share verified health information. Support the health workers who serve you, often under difficult conditions. A safer Kano is built when government, institutions, and citizens move as one.</p>
<p>*Our Pledge*</p>
<p>This Eid, KNCDC renews its pledge to remain vigilant, professional, and accountable to the people of Kano State. We will continue to strengthen our systems, expand our reach, and work transparently so that no community is left behind in our response.</p>
<p>May Allah (SWT) accept the sacrifices of the pilgrims in Makkah and of every household celebrating here in Kano. May He grant healing to the sick, strength to our health workers, wisdom to our leaders, and peace and prosperity to Kano State and to Nigeria.</p>
<p>Eid Mubarak.<br />
Let us celebrate today with gratitude, and tomorrow return to the work of building a healthier, safer Kano together.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Prof. Muhammad Adamu Abbas<br />
Director General<br />
Kano State Centre for Disease Control, KNCDC</p>
