Muhammad Garba, Chief of Staff to the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, has said Kano is now working under the Government of Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, urging journalists to report the government’s activities positively.

Speaking while unveiling the newly refurbished office of the Kano Correspondents Chapel of the NUJ, Garba said, “Politics aside, Kano is actually working, and this clearly shows the concerns of the State government in turning around things for the benefit of the state”

The Chairman of the Kano Correspondents’ Chapel, Murtala Adewale, reaffirmed the executive committee’s commitment to improving members’ welfare and working conditions.

“It’s not only about renovation; it’s about providing a conducive working environment, a centre for idea sharing, and an avenue to host important guests,” Adewale said. “We are not done yet. We will continue to serve, and serve well.”

Adewale also expressed deep appreciation to the renovation committee that drove the execution of the project, acknowledging the hard work of Chairman Abdullahi Jalaludeen, Secretary Salim Umar Ibrahim, and members Abdullahi Yusuf, Jacob Adeola Ajakaye, and Mohammad Kabir in delivering the upgraded facility.

The event drew praise from prominent media professionals, community leaders, and publishers who commended the chapel’s leadership and the renovation committee for transforming the complex.

Professor Sule Ya’u Sule applauded the chapel’s executive team, noting, “The Correspondents Chapel truly has a working leader. Please, keep it up. We are with you.”

Also, Abdulsalam Muhammad praised the chairman’s dedication, stating, “He’s never tired of bringing innovations, so I will urge all to continue to support him.”

The Managing Director of Muhasa Radio and Television, Kano, Aishatu Sule, expressed delight at the transformation of the press facility. “I’m elated and so amazed at the development in the CC Kano. Keep it up,” she remarked.

Similarly, the publisher of SolaceBase newspaper, Abdullateef Abubakar Jos, hailed the chapel’s leadership style, stating, “The chairman of Kano CC is making us all proud. He’s an example of good leadership.”

Aliyu M. Dangida, publisher of Hot Pen news magazine, also commended the project, stating, “I am very impressed with this work and praise the leadership of Kano CC.”

Highlighting the wider regional impact of the initiative, Habibu Nuhu Kila, former spokesman to former Jigawa State Governor Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, revealed plans to replicate the achievement elsewhere. “I intend to talk to the Correspondents Chapel in Dutse to emulate the Kano Chapel,” Kila noted.
