Governor of Kano State Abba Yusuf has pledged to strengthen bilateral relationship with the kingdom Saudi Arabia for the benefit of both governments.
This is contained in a statement by his Press Secretary, Bature Dawakin Tofa, in Kano.
Yusuf dropped the hint when he received the Saudi Arabian Consul in Kano, Khalid Ahmad Al-adamawi, in company of the country’s Co-ordinator of Muslim World League, Salisu Ismaila, at the Government House.
The governor appreciated the visit and solicited for the increase of scholarship by Saudi Arabian Government to Kano indigenes, to either study or further their education in Saudi Arabian universities.
Yusuf further prayed for the actualisation of a dream of establishing a medical university and a teaching hospital, as an initiative to cater for the medical needs of many people in Kano, neighbouring states and beyond.
He also sought for support in the area of reducing the number of out-of school children and maternal mortality through the construction and renovation of classrooms.
