Governor Yusuf described the policy as central to his administration’s agenda for economic resilience and inclusive growth.

“It’s about securing a sustainable future for all residents,” he stated.

Additionally, the policy strengthens Kano State’s position to attract international support and funding, enhancing its role as a regional leader in climate action.
