Shedding light on Kano State Polytechnic, Dr. Dungurawa announced that ”we recorded tremendous achievements since my appointment as the Rector, and I am operating on Seven-point agenda which I believe is working successfully in running the affairs of the polytechnic, while an open door policy remained our channel to bringing excellent legacies at the place whenever we are not there”.

Ganduje while addressing party supporters after two weeks of absence on a national assignment outside the country in the state gave the hint earlier.
He promises to uplift the standard of education and girl-child education in the state. The governor also promises to return all out-of-school children to school in order to save their future.
“We are also going to provide free education to physically challenged persons and their children as well as train them on various skills for them to be gainfully employed.
He stressed that the state government had declared free education at basic and senior secondary school levels as part of an effort to reduce the number of out-of-school children in the state.
The governor added that the state government had integrated Almajiri schools into the mainstream curriculum-based education in the state.

Ganduje described his victory at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in the state as “another round of victory” for the electorate in Kano.
