Kano Governor Grants Automatic Employment to 54 Foreign-Trained Graduates

 In a move aimed at addressing unemployment and harnessing the skills of the state’s youth, the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has granted automatic employment to 54 graduates who received their education abroad. This initiative reflects the administration’s commitment to integrating foreign-trained professionals into the state’s workforce, thereby leveraging their diverse expertise for local development.

​

The beneficiaries, who have completed their studies in various disciplines, are expected to contribute significantly to sectors such as healthcare, education, engineering, and technology within the state. By absorbing these graduates into the civil service and other state-run institutions, the government aims to infuse fresh perspectives and innovative approaches into public service delivery.​

This policy also serves as an incentive for students studying abroad, assuring them of opportunities upon their return and encouraging the application of their acquired knowledge to local challenges. The governor’s decision underscores a broader strategy to curb brain drain and ensure that the state’s investment in education yields tangible benefits for its socio-economic development.
