<p>According to a statement jointly signed by KPCF Lead Convener Mustapha Muhammed Chiroma and Co-Conveners Ibrahim Hassan Gama and Peter Hassan Tijjani, the coalition expressed profound appreciation for Waiya&#8217;s efforts in creating a more inclusive and participatory governance environment in the state.</p>
<p>The coalition specifically applauded the revival and repositioning of the Special Assignments Department within the Ministry of Information and Internal Affairs, describing the initiative as a strategic intervention that has established a functional platform for engagement, consultation, and partnership between government institutions and civil society organizations, according to the KPCF statement.</p>
<p>KPCF noted that the department&#8217;s renewed role has enhanced opportunities for citizen participation in governance and public affairs, while also providing civil society groups with a structured mechanism for contributing to policy discussions and development initiatives, the coalition stated.</p><div class="QzTvPglo" 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>The forum further acknowledged the efforts of the administration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf in promoting inclusive governance and recognizing civil society organizations as critical stakeholders in Kano State&#8217;s development process.

<p>The coalition stated that under Waiya&#8217;s leadership, the Ministry of Information and Internal Affairs has initiated several engagements with civil society organizations across the state.

<p>According to the coalition, the engagement framework has also created an effective channel through which citizens&#8217; concerns, recommendations, and observations are communicated to Governor Yusuf for consideration and action. KPCF described this process as an important step toward responsive and people-centered governance.</p>
<p>The forum observed that for many years, communication and trust deficits existed between government institutions and civil society actors in Kano State. However, KPCF stated that the civic engagement initiatives championed by Commissioner Waiya have significantly reduced these gaps and fostered a new atmosphere of mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation.</p>
<p>As a result of these efforts, transparency, accountability, and citizen-centered governance have improved across various sectors, according to KPCF. The coalition noted that stronger relationships between government agencies and civil society groups have enhanced public confidence in governance processes.</p>
<p>KPCF reaffirmed its belief that effective governance can only thrive when government institutions maintain open, transparent, and continuous engagement with citizens and their representative organizations. According to the coalition, the engagement model currently being promoted by the Ministry of Information and Internal Affairs represents a positive governance framework that deserves recognition and replication.</p>
<p>The coalition also commended Commissioner Waiya for his role in the rehabilitation, empowerment, and reintegration of repentant youths through the Safe Corridor Kano Model Programme. According to KPCF, the initiative reflects the government&#8217;s commitment to addressing social challenges through sustainable and non-violent interventions.</p>
<p>KPCF stated that the programme has demonstrated a practical approach to tackling youth political violence, thuggery, Daba activities, criminality, drug abuse, and other social vices. The coalition described the initiative as a bold and innovative strategy aimed at fostering peace, security, and social stability across Kano State.</p>
<p>In its statement, KPCF reiterated its support for Commissioner Waiya and called on the Kano State Government to sustain and institutionalize existing engagement mechanisms to ensure that citizens&#8217; voices continue to influence public policies, programmes, and development projects.</p>
<p>The coalition also urged civil society organizations across Kano State to take advantage of the opportunities created by the government&#8217;s engagement initiatives. According to KPCF, stronger partnerships between government and civil society are essential for advancing peace, development, accountability, social inclusion, and good governance.</p>
<p>KPCF further pledged its continued commitment to working with the Kano State Government and other stakeholders to promote civic participation, democratic governance, peacebuilding, and sustainable development. According to the coalition, collaborative efforts remain critical to achieving lasting progress and improving the welfare of citizens throughout Kano State.</p>
