Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje has urged President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to increase Kano’s employment quota in the federal government’s employment.
The recent official estimates taken in 2016 by the National Bureau of Statistics found that Kano State was still the largest state by population in Nigeria. Created in 1967 from the former Northern Region, Kano State borders Katsina State to the northwest, Jigawa State to the northeast, Bauchi State to the southeast, and Kaduna State to the southwest. The state’s capital and largest city is the city of Kano, the second most populous city in Nigeria after Lagos.

Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Muhibba Dankaka paid a courtesy visit to the governor to deliberate on some matters.
In his remarks, Ganduje called for an improved consideration in terms of employment since Kano has a population triple or four times of some states.
In his words: “Kano has a population triple or four times of some states, therefore, should be given a higher consideration in terms of employment.

“We have 44 local government areas. We have 484 wards, 24 members of the House of Representatives, and 40 members of the state assembly. None of the states in Nigeria has such a structure. In fact, we are the biggest democracy in Nigeria.”
“I think, since there is no public outcry, I believe you are doing very well in the commission.”
