Abba Kabir Yusuf, following Kano State&#8217;s emergence as the highest-ranked sub-national government in education among member states of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).</p><div class="DCdj36ps" 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>In a congratulatory statement he personally signed, Waya described the recognition as a historic achievement and commended Governor Yusuf&#8217;s leadership, saying the award reflects the administration&#8217;s unwavering commitment to repositioning the education sector through strategic investments and sound policies.</p>
<p>According to Waya, the prestigious recognition was conferred through the University of Paris&#8217; Sub-National Education Spending Index, which ranked Kano State ahead of 209 first-level sub-national governments across the 15 ECOWAS member states. He said the feat represents a significant endorsement of the governor&#8217;s vision and deliberate commitment to making education the foundation for sustainable development and long-term prosperity.</p>
<p>Waya stated that Kano&#8217;s emergence as the leading sub-national government in education across ECOWAS demonstrates that purposeful leadership, prudent management of public resources, and well-articulated policies can deliver measurable outcomes capable of attracting both national and international recognition.</p>

<p>The elder statesman further attributed the achievement to Governor Yusuf&#8217;s declaration of a state of emergency in the education sector and the administration&#8217;s unprecedented budgetary commitment, noting that 29.5 percent of the state&#8217;s 2024 budget and 30 percent of the 2025 budget were allocated to education. Waya said the investments have translated into tangible improvements across the sector.</p>

<p>According to Waya, since assuming office, Governor Yusuf has embarked on an ambitious programme that includes the construction of new schools, renovation of old and dilapidated classrooms, recruitment and training of teachers, as well as the provision of essential teaching and learning facilities. He said these interventions have revitalised the education system and established a strong foundation for future generations.</p>
<p>Waya also noted that the international recognition extends beyond the Kano State Government, describing it as a source of pride for the people of Kano State and Nigeria. He maintained that the honour reinforces the importance of sustained investment in education as a catalyst for social and economic transformation.</p>
<p>Waya said he joined millions of Nigerians, including the British High Commission in Nigeria, in congratulating Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and the people of Kano State on what he described as a well-deserved honour. He expressed confidence that the recognition would further inspire the state government to sustain its reforms and consolidate the gains recorded in the education sector.</p>
