Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the Kano State Governor on Friday, said that President Muhammadu Buhari was leaving Nigeria much better than he met it on assumption.
Ganduje made this known in a statement at the inauguration of 3,000 capacity Ultra-Modern Custodial Centre at Janguza in Kano
Ganduje, who was represented by Alhaji Usman Alhaji, Secretary to the State Government, said the project would move Kano to a functional mega city.
“Indeed, this is what Buhari promised Nigeria and the people of Kano to deliver dividends of democracy. “
He commended the president for the efforts rendered to Kano State and inaugurating the largest custodial centre.
It was gathered that out of the four inaugurated projects virtually by President Buhari, three are situated in Kano, which includes the Nigerian Navy Logistics College, Dawakin Tofa, 3000-Capacity Ultra modern Correctional Centre and New International Terminal Building of Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport.
In his remarks, Haliru Nababa, the Controller General of Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), said the project was a world-class centre and the first of its kind in the country.
“The Correctional Service now stands transformed and re-energised to answer its name anywhere among its equals.
“The impact of this modern facility on the management of offenders and the internal security of our country is indeed tremendous.
“Suffice to say that such a massive infrastructure upgrade is a quantum leap from a system that hitherto seemed neglected, to a highly revamped and reformed Service, able to actualise its statutory mandate professionally.
