Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf on Saturday distributed plot-of-land title documents to members of his support staff, describing the exercise as a deliberate effort to reduce the housing deficit and build lasting wealth for working families.
The beneficiaries span five categories: Senior Special Assistants, Senior Special Reporters, Special Assistants, Special Reporters, and Personal Assistants.
The distribution was held at Coronation Hall inside Government House, Kano, and was supervised by the Ministry of Land and Physical Planning.
As reported by Channels Television, the governor's Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, made this known in a statement issued on Monday, August 3, 2026.
Governor Yusuf was represented at the event by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Ibrahim.
"This programme is not simply about the allocation of plots of land; it is about reducing the housing deficit, empowering our people through property ownership, creating wealth for families, and providing young people, women, and vulnerable groups with a solid foundation upon which they can build a better future."
He also stressed that his administration measures leadership not by the promises it makes but by the promises it keeps, describing the land distribution as the fulfilment of a commitment made to the beneficiaries.
The governor praised the aides for their loyalty since the campaign period and urged them to serve as ambassadors of his administration, helping to educate the public about the ongoing programmes and projects of the Abba Gida-Gida government.
Plots exceed previous administrations' record.
The Commissioner for Land and Physical Planning, Abduljabar Umar, told the gathering that the total number of plots allocated under Governor Yusuf's administration has exceeded what was distributed during the tenures of former governors Rabiu Kwankwaso and Abdullahi Ganduje.
Umar urged every beneficiary to hold on to their allocated plot rather than sell it, advising them to preserve the land as an asset for future use.
